Multiplication tables. We learn them at a young age. Basically, you take one number with another number and together they far surpass what each other would have amounted to alone. With Christ, just as with multiplication factors, we can far surpass any of our abilites. Just look at John 6:1-14. You've probably heard the story of the boy with 5 loaves and 2 fish, but give it another gander and perhaps you'll learn something new. Just before Christ fed the thousands, Philip exclaimed it would take a half year's wages to feed the crowd. And yet, somehow--God's how--one boy's 5 loaves and 2 fish became a half year's wages. I've been struggling recently to see how my limited abilities can glorify God and serve His will, His people, and His purpose in the huge needs of this world. Although I can certainly not fix all the problems in the world, I see Him over and over again take my limited abilities and multiply them many times over...God is a master of exponents (and everything else as well.)
So give it your best shot, and then--as momma always says--'let go, and let God.'
