Moses was a servant of God and was completely willing to lead the Israelites, provided that his mission not be undermined by some overriding consideration. Therefore, he discussed the matter with God (Exodus ch.3 and 4) in order to clarify any possible problems.
Here are the issues that Moses raised (ibid):
1) "Who am I, that I should speak to Pharaoh and lead the Israelites?" Moses was very humble (Numbers ch.12) and wasn't sure of his worthiness.
2) "What should I tell the Israelites that Your name is?" The Israelites will want a direct relationship with You, not through a prophet alone, and they'll want to know how to address You personally.
3) "They won't believe me." The Israelites do not accept every newcomer and innovation; they are loyal to tradition.
4) "I can't speak smoothly." Moses' lack of smooth speech-ability might seem to reflect poorly on God's mission.
5) "Please send someone (else)." Moses was sure that there must be more qualified people, such as his brother, who was older and a prophet too.
