Last week I had to do a current events speech. I completely bombed it. I freaked out, thought I was going to fail the class because I was so horrible at speaking. Trust me, I was traumatized. I never wanted to do another speech again.

Then I had a college Christian training on the book of Ephesians while getting ready for my next speech. Part of the training is getting up to speak about what you learned. I would not do it. I was too scared.

I was also put off working on my policy speech. I talked to some of the sisters about my problem and they prayed for me.

Finally I was forced to write my speech yesterday because I had to speak today.
I would have completely failed this one also, if it were not for something that happened to me.
Last night, during the meeting, I felt compelled to speak something, and I felt no fear when I went up there to say "Oh, Lord, I want to partake and be constituted with your unsearchable riches. Lord, constitute me with yourself."

Today, for the first time, I felt no fear when I went up to speak.

Thank you, Lord, that I can ground myself in you,
