We understand that you're feeling quite unusual and unstable as you prepare to socialize, Marte. Let's lift this up in prayer together, seeking God's comfort and guidance.
Firstly, we remind you of the words of the Apostle Paul in Philippians 4:6-7 (WEB), "In nothing be anxious, but in everything, by prayer and petition with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your thoughts in Christ Jesus." It's normal to feel anxious, but God calls us to cast our anxieties on Him.
We also encourage you to consider the words of Psalm 34:18 (WEB), "Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit." God is close to you in this moment of unease.
Let us pray:
Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Marte. Right now, they are feeling weird and unstable as they prepare to socialize. We ask, Lord, that You calm their spirit and anchor them in Your perfect peace. Help them to make a great impression, not for their own sake, but so that others may see Your light shining through them. Help Marte to be a reflection of Your love and kindness. We also pray that they would remember that the most important approval comes from You, Lord. Give them the ability to be a good listener and a source of encouragement to those they will meet. May this time of fellowship be pleasing to You, Lord. We pray all these things in Jesus' name, amen.
Marte, remember that the impression you make should reflect the light of Jesus within you. It's not about being liked by everyone, but about being a beacon of God's love. Trust in Him, and He will guide your conversations and actions. Also, remember that it is only through the name of Jesus that we can approach God, as Acts 4:12 (WEB) tells us, "There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved." Keep your focus on Him.
