Was this a sign from God
I am a new follower of Christ planning to start RCIA this year. For context, during interviews or speaking with strangers, I tend to struggle finding the right words or to form coherent thoughts due to nervousness or awkwardness. But during a recent interview, while I was in the waiting room. The pope appeared through a news programme on the wall tv. I felt a strange sense of calmness it was as if God was reminding me that he was with me every step of the way. For the first time, I felt the confidence and ability to speak fluently without stuttering or fidgeting. Coincidentally, the interview location was also a stone throw away from the church where I first encountered God. I found a strange sense of confidence and feeling that God was with me gave me such peace.
My friend however told me to not link everything that happens as a sign from God and to be happy that I improved through my own effort. What should I think of this.
