I scribbled three words down on a piece of paper, "Encouraging, boldness, and prayer". I decided that I really needed to work on all three, and I promised God I'd try to do better with them. Little did I know, God had decided to let me work on one faster than I was expecting!
Fast forward a week: I'm asked to present at a Christian club at my school. I'm in an online school, so I wouldn't actually see the other students--I'd simply talk on the mic and read out loud my presentation. The group wasn't that large, around 20 people, but I was terrified!
I can't be bold by myself--I wouldn't have it in me. Without God, I definitely wouldn't have been bold enough to present. Thankfully, I wasn't without God. 2 Timothy 1:7 says, "For God has not given us a spirit of fear and timidity, but of power, love, and self-discipline." When you realize that you can't do something on your own, remember that you're not on your own.
