David charges his son Solomon with this word "Be strong and of good courage, for the Lord is with you."
God charges Joshua with the same - "Be strong and of good courage, fo I will be with you wherever you go."
The greatest obstacle is the flesh - the flesh wants to be accepted, to be successful according to the expectations of the world. But what is considered a success, or accomplishments in the eyes of men, is not so with God. The language we speak and the deeds we partake are alien to this world. It needs the courage to overcome these fears, and stand firm in our confession, with our trust in Him and Him alone. For the work ahead of us is His - He has created us to walk in them, as He does them.
Be encouraged.
