Anxiety

I was blog surfing and came upon Heidi's meme called Pondering in My Heart Monday and it's a chance to reflect on what's truly important in our lives.  The below verse is one she is pondering and it spoke LOUDLY to me.

Have no anxiety about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  Philippians 4:6


I've been asked to make an announcement on something I am organizing (Rosary Rally Crusade) in my area and it's something I believe in yet, I hate public speaking.  My parish priest asked me to make the announcement to encourage parishioners to join me in this rally which makes sense.  But, I wish the anxious feelings about public speaking would GO AWAY!


To add to that, I was asked to sub as a reader for two days in daily mass and again, my heart started pounding with me thinking "can I do that?"  I know I can but can I do it without my voice shaking?  Pronouncing all the words accurately?  We shall see because I agreed to do it.  


I don't want to be fearful in speaking in God's house so I will try and conquer this fear.  


I'm linking this up with L.A.C.E. because I need all the prayers I can get!!


Please pray for me!!
