Prayer for Shyness

Lord, let me bravely face all fears and rid myself of my shyness. In the power of your majestic right hand, may I take a deep breath and realize such perfect love expels all fear, even in chaotic times. Give me the command to be strong and have the courage to break free from my comfort zone so I can speak out confidently. Grant unto me a sound mind as I focus on my daily life for You so that no matter what the world offers me, I will always stand firm with conviction, knowing who is victorious over any dark forces. Amen.

O Lord, I come before You in prayer because I am timid and lack confidence. My shyness has made it hard for me to talk to people, especially when I don’t know them very well. I am afraid of saying something wrong or being judged by others. Father God, please strengthen my spirit with Your mighty power so that I can overcome my timidity and self-esteem issues. Help me build the courage necessary to be strong despite all my fears – to trust in Your word even though the world around us is broken, and restore hope within me that’s filled with confident optimism instead of fearfulness or worry. Enable me to speak up confidently and courageously as Your commands uphold us. May I be blessed with the gift of joy so that shyness is no longer a problem for me. In Your precious name, Amen.

O Lord, I kneel and pray for my shy friend. She is so fearful in this crazy and chaotic world, trying to find peace amidst the brokenness and confusion. Give her self-discipline, grant her confidence in hope, and strength to overcome her shyness with such love as only You can provide. Be a spirit within us; help us talk openly and sincerely amongst each other and our friends. Fill my dear friend’s heart with truth, honor, faith, sense of purposeful voice that speaks louder than any fear. Amen.
