Make a list of affirmation words you could use in speaking to others. Be INTENTIONAL. Example: I’m so happy you are here today. You are a blessing to me. “Conduct yourself with wisdom toward outsiders…” Step up and depend on Jesus to help you witness, even if it’s a few words God will use it, but we need to open our mouth.
