I've never felt nervous in front of big crowds and in big stadiums.

I guess the closest I came was doing chores around the house to earn pocket money.

We didn't get a huge amount but it was always enough to be able to walk down to the local shops and get some sweets.

Learn to worship God as the God who does wonders, who wishes to prove in you that He can do something supernatural and divine.

We must make humility the chief thing we admire in Him.

The enemy uses all his power to lead the Christian, and above all the minister, to neglect prayer. He knows that however admirable the sermon may be, however attractive the service, however faithful the pastoral visitation, none of these things can damage him or his kingdom if prayer is neglected.
