Probably depends a bit on what the situation is. But, for a serious situation, I count a lot on prayer and my faith to help guide and strengthen me. I also depend a lot on my wife and family and good friends for encouragement and support. Those are probably my most reliable and best "courage enhancers".

I also try to research the situation so that I feel like I know all I can about it and will be informed on what I'm doing. The better informed, the better prepared. The better prepared, the less nervous I tend to feel.

Not sure if that helps, but we'll keep you in our thoughts, osuche, if you're facing such a situation. ((((( HUGS )))))
