I was asked by an elder from my congregation if he could interview me, regarding my bible studies I have? I agreed EVERY RELUCTANTLY and after the call, anxiety kicked in big time, so I cried to my God, Jehovah and from that moment, right to the early morning, anxiety vanished. I felt nervous, but calm. Started to over think in early hours of the morning and so, asked for a top up lol and sure enough, Jehovah listened and once again, calmness. I was able to get on with my day ( when anxious cannot function).
As the time was looming closer, I decided to ask again for help and Jehovah helped. Even when entering my Kingdom Hall, anxiety was minimal and as the time got closer and closer to the brother going on the plateform to discuss the book: Enjoy life forever - and I sensed it was time to go up myself, anxiety was minimal and then, I just went into automatic mode. Could not believe it, when we got a round of applause straight after we finished!
The brother obviously made the interview very short, knowing that it was highly difficult for me being up on that plateform.
What I was scared of most, was not understanding his questions and not being coherant enough, but according to others, listening, I did an amazing job.
