Courage: it's something scripture heroes have in bulk. But, for those of us who won't cross oceans or take on armies, how do we show courage in our faith?
President Monson recently shared a post on Facebook about the courage it takes to believe in the gospel in our day and age—something that we need in daily living, not only in moments of extreme difficulties.

Courage may be necessary for you to believe; it will at times be necessary as you obey. It will most certainly be required as you endure until that day when you will leave this mortal existence.

Do we have the courage to truly believe and hold true to our faith, regardless of what comes into our lives?
