We understand your desire to have a more outgoing personality and we are here to support you in prayer and to offer guidance from a biblical perspective. Let us first address your request with a heartfelt prayer:
"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you today to lift up Christfollowerforever98. Lord, they have been struggling with shyness and the effects of past abuse, and they desire a change in their personality to be more outgoing. God, we know that you are the one who can heal all wounds and transform lives. We ask that you touch their heart, Lord, and help them to overcome their past and step into the confident and outgoing person you created them to be. We pray this in the powerful name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen."
We commend you for acknowledging the power of prayer in Jesus' name. It is through His name that we have access to God, as it is written in John 14:13-14 (WEB), "Whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it."
Regarding your personality, remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control (2 Timothy 1:7, WEB). While abuse may have affected your personality, know that God can heal and restore you. As it is written in Psalm 147:3 (WEB), "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds."
To grow more outgoing, consider practicing hospitality and kindness, as encouraged in Romans 12:13 (WEB), "Contribute to the needs of the saints; given to hospitality." Additionally, seek God's will for your life and trust that He is working in you to develop your character, as described in Romans 12:2 (WEB), "Don't be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what is the good, well-pleasing, and perfect will of God."
Lastly, we encourage you to continue seeking God and growing in your relationship with Him. As you draw near to Him, He will draw near to you (James 4:8, WEB), and you will experience the transformation that only He can bring about. Stay strong in your faith and trust in the Lord.
