Nervous About Sharing My Faith Publicly
As a 21-year-old college student, I have a deep desire to share my faith with others, but whenever an opportunity arises, I feel consumed by fear. I often think about how people might react or judge me. I want to be bold in my witness, but the anxiety can be crippling, making me hesitate even when I feel led to speak. I pray for the courage to share my testimony and the message of Christ without fear of rejection. Additionally, I hope to be an encouragement to my peers who are also struggling with their faith.
Pastor's Response

Dear Liam, I commend you for your desire to share your faith. That is a vital part of our Christian walk! It is normal to feel anxious about how others may react, but remember that God has not given us a spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7). Instead, He empowers us with His love. In Isaiah 41:10, we are reminded not to fear, for God is with us; we should not be dismayed, for He is our God. When the moment arises to share your faith, take a deep breath, pray for guidance, and remember the love of Christ that compels you. As you share, trust that the Holy Spirit will give you the words to say. Let’s pray together: Lord, fill Liam with Your courage and peace as he seeks to share his faith, and may he be a bright light to his peers. Amen.
