Fear paralyzes; courage is what helps us move ahead. Courage does not conquer fear, it simply renders fear ineffective. It gives us a confident assurance that we can succeed. Christians recognize that they have an extra resource in God\u2019s promised help in time of need. This should bring about a boldness to face any situation that comes our way. It should be noted that sometimes the courageous thing to do is run, if that is what will bring about the greatest good. The Bible speaks of courage to stand firm against evil, to remain strong in our faith, to resist temptation, to do the right thing. The more we learn to rely on God, the more courageous we will become.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Where do I get the courage to go on when life seems too hard or obstacles<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong>seem too big?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>DEUTERONOMY 20:1 | \u201cThe Lord your God . . . is with you!\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-5992 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.tyndale.com\/tyndalebibles\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/01\/lightstock_57771_medium_user_5910588.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"312\" height=\"208\" \/><\/p>\n<p>PSALM 27:1 | The Lord is my light and my salvation\u2014so why should I be afraid?<\/p>\n<p>ISAIAH 41:10 | \u201cDon\u2019t be afraid, for I am with you.
