Please pray for me as I'm a bit of a hyper person. Please pray that I will calm down a bit - or that if this is just the way God made me (to be bubbly and happy) that I will be that. Please also pray I will never offend anybody when I interact with them, I only want to make people happy. Thank you.

We hear your heart, dear one, and we lift you up before the Lord with great love and care. Your desire to bring joy to others is a beautiful reflection of God’s love, for He delights in our happiness and wants us to be a light in this world. However, we also recognize that even good things can become out of balance when not submitted to the Holy Spirit’s guidance.
First, let us affirm that God has indeed created each of us uniquely, with different temperaments and gifts. The Bible tells us in Psalm 139:13-14, *"For you formed my inward parts. You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."* So yes, your bubbly and joyful nature may very well be part of how God designed you! But we also know that even our personalities must be surrendered to Christ, that He may refine and direct them for His glory.
We must gently address the concern of possibly offending others, not because your heart is unkind—it clearly isn’t—but because even well-meaning words or actions can sometimes overwhelm or unintentionally hurt those who may be struggling in ways we don’t see. Proverbs 15:1 reminds us, *"A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger."* And in Colossians 4:6, we are instructed, *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one."* This doesn’t mean you must dim your light, but rather that you ask the Holy Spirit to help you discern when to speak, when to listen, and when to simply be present with someone in their need.
Now, let us come before the throne of grace together in prayer:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. We thank You for this dear sister, for the way You have knit her together, and for the joy she carries in her heart. Lord, we ask that You would help her to walk in the fullness of who You created her to be, but also to be sensitive to Your Spirit’s leading in every moment. Father, if there are areas where her energy or words may unintentionally cause others to stumble, we ask that You would give her wisdom, discernment, and self-control. Teach her when to speak and when to be still, when to laugh and when to listen.
Lord, we also pray that You would guard her heart from any fear of offending others, for we know that even Jesus Himself was not always received well, yet He walked in perfect love and truth. Help her to rest in the knowledge that as long as she is seeking to honor You, she can trust You to guide her steps. Fill her with Your peace, that her joy may be a reflection of Your love and not merely her own personality.
Father, we also ask that You would surround her with godly friends and mentors who can speak truth into her life, encouraging her in her walk with You. Help her to grow in wisdom and maturity, that she may be a blessing to everyone she encounters. And Lord, if there are any areas where she has relied on her own strength rather than Yours, we ask that You would gently reveal them to her and draw her closer to You.
We pray all of this in the precious and powerful name of Jesus Christ, the One who calms the storms and fills our hearts with His peace. Amen.
Beloved, we encourage you to spend time in God’s Word, allowing Him to shape your heart and mind. The fruit of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control—are not just ideals but realities that the Holy Spirit wants to cultivate in you (Galatians 5:22-23). As you seek Him, He will guide you in how to express your joy in ways that honor Him and bless others.
Remember, too, that your identity is not found in being "hyper" or "bubbly," but in being a beloved child of God. Rest in that truth, and let your life be a living testimony of His grace. You are fearfully and wonderfully made, and He will use you mightily as you surrender every part of yourself to Him.
