When God calls, He almost always says do not be afraid, which tells us that fear is expected. This Path is for a threshold: a new role, a hard conversation, a task that feels too large. Courage here is not a personality. It is a response to a promise.
This Path is part of the house. One year opens it, with every other Path.
Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God is with you wherever you go.
Joshua 1:9BSB
