Life is filled with an abundant amount of everyday problems and challenges. Each day comes with a whole new set of issues, whether they are health-related, financial-related or anything in between. What is going to help us deal with these daily challenges? While having a good support system in family and friends is vital, here’s why having courage is just as important.
Courage gives you the confidence to take action in spite of your fears. By developing this quality called courage, you will be facing your fears, worries
and challenges like a lion. So whether you’re dealing with a devastating illness, financial setbacks or a loss of a loved one, you can’t deal with these tests in your life without courage. Think of these tests as “Goliaths” in your life which you are willing to stand up against.
Courage could be strengthened through hope to overcome your adversities. Hope is like an anchor that steers us afloat. If you don’t have any hope for something, it will be difficult to develop this courage inside of us. Serious illness such as cancer and Alzheimer’s are certainly wearing people down physically. But if you continue to remain hopeful in managing these illnesses, you will gain courage in your fight against them.
Yes, courage is a vital thing to have to face any adversity or challenge. Where do you get your courage? For me, the true source of my courage comes from my dear father, Jehovah. My relationship with him has strengthened me in so many ways. That’s why I named my blog, “Good News for the Soul.” I wanted to impart some words of encouragement and hope for anyone dealing with a seemingly overwhelming physical turmoil in their lives. But as long as you have courage, no weapon formed against you will have any success.
