Goodbye, performance anxiety!
I should have been excited, but instead I felt scared. My choir had been invited to perform at a conference for music teachers. It was a huge honor, and most people were looking forward to it. But not me. I’ve always found performing to be scary and nerve-wracking, so I was anxious about the performance. We had a send-off concert a couple of days before, and I felt tense during the whole thing.
As God’s daughter, I could never be inadequate.
I knew I needed to deal with these feelings before the actual concert, so the night before I looked for inspiration to fuel my prayers. I was trying to find articles about healings of performance anxiety by searching JSH-Online, but none of them seemed to quite fit my need. I have found a lot of inspiration in testimonies and articles on this website on the subject of running and physical activity, so I felt frustrated that I wasn’t finding anything helpful for singing.
