Be strong and of good courage
Joshua 1:9
Have I not commanded you to be strong and of good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

I believe God told Joshua to be strong and of good courage because of the challenges ahead of him

In the same way, this message applies to all Christians. 1 Peter 5:8 says
Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.

This is a message to caution believers so that we will be alert at all times and also claim God’s promise to be with us at all times. Therefore there is no need to fear. We have to be strong and courageous.

Romans 8:31 says
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

No one can succeed in destroying or hurting us because God is on our side. Once you receive the gift of salvation, God is on your side.

When we have to take a very difficult exam as students and we are scared. Let’s remember that God can do all things (Jeremiah 32:27)

In a situation where your employers are not making enough profit and threaten to downsize staff numbers, do not forget that God has promised to uphold you with His victorious right hand ( Isaiah 41:10)

If you have no money to finance your ministry or your christian activities, the word says, ask and it shall be given unto you; seek and you shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you ( Matthew 7:7)

So be strong and courageous at all times, God will not fail you
God be with you

Suggestions for success
1. Whenever you are filled with fear remember God has promised to be with you. And with God on your side you can do all things.

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song

Be bold, be strong for the Lord thy God is with you
Do not be afraid
Do not be dismayed
Walk in faith and victory
For the Lord your God
Is with you
Amen
