The definition of courage is “the ability to face danger,
difficulty, uncertainty, or pain without being overcome by fear or being
deflected from a chosen course of action.”
After that definition was this handy example:
She must pluck up
courage and tell him the truth.
(Bing.com/Dictionary)
Further down the page I spotted a synonym for courage:
pluck.

Think Loony Toons’ Plucky Duck.
Did you see it? The word “pluck” as it relates to courage,
is both a verb and a noun. We just need to pluck up (do it) the pluck (courage)
in order to be plucky (courageous).
Face our fears; don’t be overcome by them and—voila—we have
courage.
Now that we have a new image to hold in our minds. Let’s all
be plucky ducks for Jesus.
PRAYER: Heavenly
Father, thank you for the encouragement we have through you. Please help us
encourage each other in all things. Amen.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
In what area do you need to become a plucky duck?
