Emotions
Nervousness
Restlessness in body and mind before situations that matter to us.
What the Bible can tell you
In the multitude of my thoughts within me, your comforts delight my soul.
Psalms 94:19
Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you; not as the world gives, I give to you. Don't let your heart be troubled, neither let it be fearful.
John 14:27
Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness.
Isaiah 41:10
A human reading
Being nervous before something important is normal. The text reminds us that comfort comes when the mind is full of restless thoughts. Breathing slowly and focusing on the next step helps.
