Make up your mind not to worry

But make up your mind not to worry beforehand how you will defend yourselves.  For I will give you words and wisdom that none of your adversaries will be able to resist or contradict.”
Luke 21:14-15

When you have God within, and around, you (through faith, belief, and prayer), you can spend all your time living to the fullest that the God-life has to offer.  On the other hand, if you choose to live without God, then you have the unblessed assurance of living a God-less life in darkness, dreariness, and doom.

Pretty simple:
Grab on to God and never let him go.

Trust God with your words

“Resolve and settle in your minds not to meditate and prepare beforehand how you are to make your defense and how you will answer.
For I [Myself] will give you a mouth and such utterance and wisdom that all of your foes combined will be unable to stand against or refute.”
Luke 21:14-15 AMP

Trust God with your words and rely not on your own knowledge or understanding, because, in yourself, your words will drown you; in God, your words will glorify you.

Let God speak for you.

"... do not be anxious beforehand about what you are to say 'nor [even] mediate about it; but say whatever is given you in that hour and at the moment, for it is not you who will be speaking, but the Holy Spirit." Mark 13:11 AMP

When we are getting ready for a time where eyes and questions will be on us, (for example, job interview, leadership conference, speaking engagements, etc.), most of us spend hours, and even days, beforehand worrying, wondering, thinking, practicing, rehearsing about our words and the way in which we will speak them.  Although, it is very important to be prepared, a lot of us are better off having a game-plan, but we need to let God play the game. In other words, have the ground work ready for your upcoming event, but let God, and know that He will, put your words in the proper format, with the proper manner and etiquette, at the most appropriate time.  I believe, and know, that if you (and me as well) do, you will leave that room with your head held high, giving hi-fives to the Spirit within, and knowing that you know that whatever the outcome may be, you spoke words anointed by the Spirit and shocking even your most critical of critics.

My friends, God is good, and He will speak through you if you let Him.  Therefore, give it a try, I'll bet if you do, you will keep yourself free from a bunch of unnecessary trouble, as well as keep yourself at the top of any game.
