Please I ask for prayers for confidence, i have absolutely zero confidence in myself and have a huge fear of humiliation and am horribly shy, please I ask for prayers that God grants me confidence and a love of the cross, I know He will the only thing stopping Him from, is me):
Also some advice wouldn’t hurt either.
 
Lack of confidence can be a blessing if you put your confidence and trust in the Lord. Remember that you are precious to Him. Most of us struggle with to much self confidence and pride and that can be a block to receiving his gifts of grace.

Read Isiah 43
Because you are precious in my eyes
and honored, and I love you,
 
I was always very shy, too. I found a poem (I read it daily) that helped build my confidence because it made me see that I’m a unique, irreplaceable person and in God’s eyes, I have great worth. I hope it helps!

Also, remember that everyone else is very busy thinking of themselves; they’re not really spending any time thinking about what you perceive as social blunders on your part. Try to laugh it off and not internalize things. Keep telling yourself that NO ONE is perfect. It takes some work, but it makes a huge difference.

by Charles K. Robinson

I know you, I created you.
I am creating you.
I have loved you from your mother’s womb.
You have fled – as you know – from my love.
But I love you nevertheless, and not-the-less and,
however far you flee,
It is I who sustain your very power of fleeing,
and I will never finally let you go.

I accept you as you are. You are forgiven.
I know all your sufferings. I have always known them.
For beyond your understanding, when you suffer, I suffer.

I also know all the tricks by which you try to hide the ugliness
You have made of your life from yourself and others.
But you are beautiful.
You are beautiful more deeply within than you can see.
You are beautiful because you yourself,
in the unique one that only you are,
Reflect already something of the beauty of my holiness in a way,
which shall become.

Through the transforming power of my love
you shall become perfectly beautiful.
You shall become perfectly beautiful.
In a uniquely irreplaceable way.
which neither you nor I will work out alone.
For we shall work it out together.

Mother Mary, please help CountrySteve to place all his confidence in the Lord and not in himself. Help him to carry his cross courageously and help him to love humiliations - for they build humility.

Hail Mary…

Amen.
 
Hail, holy Queen, Mother of Mercy,
our life, our sweetness and our hope.
To you do we cry, poor banished children of Eve;
to you do we send up our sighs,
mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, most gracious advocate,
Your eyes of mercy toward us;
and after this our exile,
show unto us the blessed fruit of your womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
Amen
