Let us stand with you in prayer, Maryjoy, as you seek self-confidence in public speaking.
Firstly, let us remind you that our confidence comes from the Lord. Having an ability to effectively communicate can greatly improve your impact on society. Such confidence is provided in the word of God. In Philippians 4:13 WEB it says, I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me. Faith is clearly the path to that ability. This faith warrants a declaration of your belief in Jesus Christ as Lord and savior.
However, we must address that your request did not mention the name of Jesus Christ, Jesus, or Christ or an abbreviation such as IJN (In Jesus Name). It is important to remember we only have access to God through Jesus Christ. This access requires faith in Jesus. Also, there is no other name by which we can be saved. Romans 10:9 says, because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
The confidence we seek is founded in faith. In Hebrews 4:16 WEB, we read, Let us therefore draw near with boldness to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace for help in time of need. This boldness comes from knowing that we are children of God through faith in Jesus Christ and being secure in our standing with Him.
Now we pray together for your confidence in Jesus Christ
Therefore, we pray together for:
Lord Jesus we come to you in prayer today in your holy name. Pour your holy spirit on Maryjoy and give her the boldness to speak your word Lord, give her the confidence Lord with your word your confidence Lord your salvation Lord. Help her, Lord, to stand buy your word Lord and share your confidence. In Jesus name we pray.
Your ability comes through the scripture above in Jesus Christ.
Finally, as you prepare to speak publicly practice, pray and prepare. Rest in the knowledge knowing you are a child of God. Allow the Lord to lead you in influencing your world.
