Fear of witnessing

I've been trying to witness more. I know the Scripture where Jesus says,"For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels."

Psalm 84:11

"For the Lord God is a sun and shield; the Lord bestows favor and honor. No good thing does he withhold from those who walk uprightly." This is something I think about often.
