Courage as strength from God

Courage through faithful obedience

1 Chronicles 22:11–13 ERV

Now, my son the Lord be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken concerning thee. Only the Lord give thee discretion and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel; that so thou mayest keep the law of the Lord thy God. Then shalt thou prosper, if thou observe to do the statutes and the judgements which the Lord charged Moses with concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; fear not, neither be dismayed.

Courage in prayer

Hebrews 4:14–16 ERV

Having then a great high priest, who hath passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we have not a high priest that cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but one that hath been in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore draw near with boldness unto the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy, and may find grace to help us in time of need.
