Christ Himself tells you to "be of good cheer" and you would rather be nervous about the outcome?

I wish that I wasn't nervous, but I just can't help it. The future is bright as we look to the resurrection, but there are bumps along the way, and I don't have much faith in myself.

Christ seemed a little nervous as the cross drew near, so I feel I am in good company.

Christ the man may have been a little shaken, but Christ the Triune God was certain of all things.

The times when I am most nervous or worried are the times I am most certain of my faith because it is the only thing left to sustain me. During the darkness of night His promise not to lose me shines most brightly.

"When you go through a trial, the sovereignty of God is the pillow upon which you rest your head." -- Charles Spurgeon

Nervous??

nervous(adj): In a state of anxiety or uneasiness.

If the Bible says to be anxious for nothing, how could Christ be nervious (anxious)?
