The Lord purposely chooses the humble and "not good enough"

"You say you’re not perfect? You’re not good enough? Well, welcome to the club! You may be just the person God is looking for.

...

The Lord chooses the humble and meek—partly because they are humble and meek. In this way, there is never a question regarding the reason for their success. These wonderful, ordinary people accomplish great things not because of who they are but because of who God is!

For “what is impossible with man is possible with God.” (Luke 18:27, NIV)

...

God does not need people who are flawless. He seeks those who will offer their “heart and a willing mind,” (D&C 64:34) and He will make them “perfect in Christ" (Moroni 10:32-33)."
