Bible Verses About Strength & Courage
Courage in the Bible is rarely the absence of fear; it is faith that God goes with us into what we dread. Again and again Scripture grounds our strength not in our own resolve but in the presence and power of God. These verses are for the moments the road gets steep and you wonder if you can keep going.
