For a long time I had wanted to give a testimony at the Wednesday evening meeting in our branch church. But the weeks rolled into years, and I was unable to testify because of fear—fear of speaking in public, fear that my voice would falter, fear that I would forget what I wanted to say.
I mentioned these concerns to a friend who is a Christian Scientist, and it was pointed out that just making the effort to stand up could be my first step in overcoming the fear.
Then I remembered the Bible account in Exodus, when God commanded Moses to speak to the Israelites. Moses pleaded that he was not eloquent but was slow of speech. Yet God said (Ex. 4:12), "I will be with thy mouth, and teach thee what thou shalt say."
