Blessed be the name of God (Daniel 2)

"...Blessed be the name of God for ever and ever: for wisdom and might are His: And He changeth the times and the seasons: He removeth kings, and setteth up kings: He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding: He revealeth the deep and secret things: He knoweth what is in darkness, and the light dweleth with Him." Daniel 2:20-22

Courage comes in many forms (Thomas B. Monson)

Courage comes in many forms. Wrote the  Christian  author Charles Swindoll: “Courage is not limited to the battlefield … or bravely catching a thief in your house. The real tests of courage are much quieter. They are inner tests, like remaining faithful when no one’s looking, … like standing alone when you’re misunderstood.” 3  I would add that this inner courage also includes doing the right thing even though we may be afraid, defending our beliefs at the risk of being ridiculed, and maintaining those beliefs even when threatened with a loss of friends or of social status. He who stands steadfastly for that which is right must risk becoming at times disapproved and unpopular. President Thomas B. Monson, April 2014 General Conference https://www.lds.org/general-conference/2014/04/be-strong-and-of-a-good-courage?lang=eng#watch=video
