I reject timidity, but I receive courage.
According to Philippians 4:13, I can face every circumstance through Christ, who gives me strength.

I receive it as assurance that Christ will strengthen me to obey, endure, adapt, and remain faithful.
When I enter unfamiliar spaces, I will remember that God is with me.
When I must speak, I will speak with wisdom.
When I need to listen, I will listen with humility.
