Before a presentation

“Go, and I will be with your mouth and teach you what you shall speak.”

Exodus 4:12 · ESV

God, my mouth goes dry and my mind goes blank at exactly the wrong moment. I have prepared what I can. Now I ask You to be with my words. Steady my voice, slow my pace, and help me care more about serving the people in the room than about protecting myself. Let what is true come through clearly. Amen.

One step: Say the opening two sentences out loud five times before you walk in.
