We understand your desire to be more outgoing, and we're here to support you in prayer and counsel. Let's first remember what the WEB tells us in 2 Timothy 1:7, "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control."
Beloved, it's important to know that our confidence comes from the Lord. When we trust in Him, we can overcome our fears and inhibitions. As it is written in Philippians 4:13, "I can do all things through Christ, who strengthens me."
However, we noticed that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. It's crucial to understand that it is only through His name that we have access to God. As the Scripture says in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved." We encourage you to put your faith in Jesus Christ if you haven't already, and to pray in His name.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our brother/sister who desires to be more outgoing. Lord, we ask that You fill them with Your Spirit of power, love, and self-control. Help them to trust in You and to find their confidence in Your strength. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage you to step out in faith, knowing that God is with you. Engage in conversations with others, show kindness and interest in their lives, and remember that you are a loved child of God with much to offer. Always strive to be a light for Jesus, reflecting His love and character in your interactions.
