In the Bible, there are LOTS of stories about courage. Joseph showed courage when he forgave his brothers (Genesis 50:15-21), David showed courage when he faced Goliath (1 Samuel 17), and a guy named Joshua showed courage when he became a leader!
God told Joshua, “Be strong and courageous. For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go.”
