You need to pray for yourself everyday. Ask the Lord to give you confidence, wisdom, strength and peace for the day. Know that the person or people you are talking to are no one important. We are all the same here. We are all human beings with our imperfections, nervousness, illnesses & bathroom habits. The thing you have going for you is you have Christ on your side. So you have a leg up on those who don't. \nHow do you win more souls for Jesus? All you can do is teach his word. Proclaim your love for him. Most of all praise him openly. Offer your time to him. People think they are just bound to pay their tithes and give cash offerings to thier church. NO they aren't every Christian needs to offer their time. Even the smallest of jobs Christ blesses you for. Get involve with your churches events, if your doesn't have any events then get some going. Start helping the community. Take up collections go give sack lunches to the homeless. Get a van going to pick up and take back homeless people to and from church on Sundays. Help single parents. Through these things you will meet new people in hopes of bringing them to Christ. My church has so many things going. Our Pastor just reaches out to everyone. He's awesome!

Sounds to me like you need friends who will encourage you and be confidence builders. You're going it alone and your shyness is holding you back and this is where good friends will step in and give you support. Reach out, make friends who will help you feel more secure about yourself. Some of us here list our emails and message links to be of help. Take advantage of this and the experience others may have that can offer you support and advice as friends should.\n\nBest Wishes!!

Keep giving people this testimony of yours and it is this way that you will be winning souls for Jesus. You are feeling the presence of God and it is on you thick. Keep doing whatever it is that you are doing. I pray that the presence of God will continue to shower you that you will be able to bless others that cross your path. I pray that God will bless you mentally, spiritually, financially, emotionally and physically all to His glory. God loves you so much and you will be blessed as long as you keep you eyes fixed on the Father and keep serving the Lord like you never have before. God is gonna use you and He has a divine purpose for your life. Since His presence is on you so heavy began to ask Him what your purpose is for your life and how and when you should begin fulfilling it. Talk to God daily. He's your Father in Heaven and he wants you to communicate with Him, afterall, it's to benefit you.\n\nBe Blessed

Tired of being the shy person in the back of the crowd? Become the center of attention at an easy, personalized pace! \n\nSteps \nBe confident. Tell yourself that you have great qualities, and don't let anybody bring you down! \n\nSet goals for yourself. Focus on small, daily goals, and gradually become more daring. E.g. try to speak at least once every class period. \n\nIntroduce yourself to new people each day. Most people are nice and will be welcoming to your advances. It is also great practice for more daring behavior, such as talking to cute people. \n\nHold close bonds with your friends, they can be there for you when you crack out of the shell! They'll be glad to help. \n\nTry doing stuff you never dreamed you would. For example: Talk to that cute boy in study hall that you thought would never notice you. Wear something very flattering and colorful to show what a fun person you really are! \n\nLaugh often, at your own jokes and those of others. It will help ease any tension you may be feeling. \n\nLie on your bed and take 3 deep breaths. Then visualize a situation where you might be shy. Now in that situation make yourself confident. Do this for as many situations as you can think of. Do this daily. Do this in the morning. \n\nRepeat positive affirmations using I statements. " I am a wonderful person". "I am a good looking person". Do it even if you don't believe it. Do it daily. \n\nMake a list of things that make you feel shy that you want to try and work on. Order them so that those things that cause you the least anxiety are first and those that cause you the most anxiety are last. Once you have a list of 10-15 stressful situations start working through them, one-by-one. The first few "easier" situations will help build your confidence so that you can continue moving to more difficult situations on your list. Don't worry if you have to go backwards on the list sometimes -- take it at your own pace but do make an effort to push yourself. \n\nTips \nThere's nothing wrong with being shy, but there's nothing wrong with being outgoing either! \n\nDon't go overboard, and just be yourself! Life isn't a competition! \n\nShyness is sometimes seen as classy. \n\nDon't be afraid to seek professional help -- group counseling, individual counseling, and therapy can help you along the way. \n\nIf you are intelligent enough to know when to keep your mouth closed, then there is no advantage to being shy. Rid yourself of shyness, you'll thank yourself later. \n\nOften, being shy is a result of feeling inferior to or otherwise "less than" other people. Think about it, this is almost never the case. A positive self-image is the key. \n\nWarnings \nIf you were known for being shy amongst family members, watch out for the harmless teasing. They mean well. But don't let them scare you back into your shell! \n\nSame goes for people at school, if you are still at school. Some may be uncomfortable with you existing outside the categeory they've put you in, in their own minds. Ignore them.

Continue being in the Word daily. Focus on Jesus. Pray daily. Plug in daily bc the Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 1Peter5:8\n\nWhen you give your burdens to Jesus, leave them there. Don't take them back and start worrying.\n1Peter5:7\nCast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. \n\nPhil 4:4\nRejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! \n\nIn addition, a good book that has helped me is "Power of a Praying Woman"\nby Stormie Omartian.\n\nI pray all goes well...\n\nGod Bless!

Being nervous is natural. How nervous you are and how you deal with it will start to ease as you get older. Training hard and being confident in your ability helps your confidence and should help ease your nervousness. If you've trained the hardest you could, you shouldn't have to be too nervous. Learn to channel your nervousness by staying calm and focusing on your match. Visualize the things that you've practiced and how you will execute them during the match. Nervousness is a natural way to prepare your body by stimulating your senses.

You can become more confident in what you do by knowing about the subject,product,issue,etc.Whatever it is that you are involved in,if you don't know what you are talking about then learn. Start reading the dictionary,go online start learning about different things,go the library in your spare time,read about subjects you don't know anything about or understand. Reading is so good for you.You have to increase your knowledge.Seeing that most people don't use but about 5 percent  of their brain power,look out how much empty space you have that you can use. Think about what most subjects are that the people you know generally talk about. Then go start learning about these subjects so that the next time there is a conversation going on you will be prepared to have a little input of your own and know and understand what you are talking about. Your confidence will grown each time.When you are having a conversation with other people,remember that they are only human,they will not eat you alive unless they are cannibel(HaHa)Seriously,they are just people just like you.They may disagree with whatever you have to say,but everyone is entitled to their own opinion.As far as speaking in front of a crowd,well that's a different subject,that takes practice for anyone.Anyone interested should get a book on that subject and then practice,practice,practice.Maybe even join a public speaking class.In any case the more knowledge you have about a subject,the more comfortable and confident you will be when speaking about it.The more you know,the more confidence you have.Note:spell check is not working,I'm in a hurry today,gotta go,Good Luck.

Think about what assertive and confident look and sound like, then look and sound like that.\n\nSome details that come to mind...\nstand or sit tall\nmake eye contact\nspeak a little slower than usual\nspeak a little lower (no high squeaky voice) than usual\n\n\nBest of all, know your stuff inside out. That way you should actually be confident.

Let me rephrase that for you: How do I ease my nervousness?\nNow that that's settled, just drink some milk, watch some tv, think about pleasant things, imagine the audience in their underwear, breathe deeply, empty your mind of all thoughts...\nthat should tide you over, right?

"Don't put your confidence in man"  - there is only one that you can, and should, put your complete trust in - that would be the Lord Jesus Christ!!   Everyone else will let you down someway/someday - Jesus will never let you down - He will never back stab - never betray you - never gossip about you - never break a confidence - never leave you or forsake you.  He is the only one you can totally trust!!    JESUS WILL NEVER HURT YOU!!

Don't worry about it. Those people will be there to see you do good and I'm sure you will do great. I do live performances in musical and have solos all the time and I'm really not to good at singing but i know as long as i have confidence in myself it won't be as bad as it seems. And for your nervousness right now try to ignore it i am always way more nervous before performing then while i am performing when you get on stage after you sing that first line you get so much more confidence. And remember there will always be that one or two people that say you suck but most of the time those people would never have the courage to get up there and sing in front of a crowd so just ignore them

You gain confidence by believing in your abilities.  By succeeding in things you do.  They don't have to be big things, little victories count too. What qualities do you possess that others admire? Make a list if you like.  \n\nIf you can see yourself succeeding, your confidence will grow. Put yourself in a position to succeed in whatever you do.  Good luck!
