What does the Bible say about courage in faith?

The Scriptures emphasize that God grants courage and faith to those who stand for His truth, especially in difficult circumstances. Elijah's example illustrates how God provided him with the boldness to confront Ahab, despite the overwhelming odds. Moreover, passages like 1 Samuel 30:6 affirm that 'David was greatly distressed,' yet 'he strengthened himself in the Lord his God.' This indicates that true courage comes from reliance on God's promises and presence. As believers, we are called to trust God’s equipping and empowering as we face our own challenges in sharing the gospel and living out our faith.
