Courage Is a Divine Gift
Commentators like John Calvin explain that the command to "be strong" is not about mustering your own strength. It is an invitation to rely on God, who promises "he shall strengthen your heart." When you feel weak or cowardly, this verse is a stimulus to pray and ask God for the fortitude that He alone can provide. Your role is to hope in Him; His role is to supply the strength.
