I think the future tense (j'aurai enfin le courage) makes more sense because the sentence states "le jour viendra bientôt" which is in the future tense. I think if the first part of the sentence was more conditional (as in "a day might come when I will finally have the courage), then the conditional would work.

« “J’esperè que je n’aurais pas à attendre...” Should this be in the future tense? “Je n’aurai pas”Et ... vous n'avez pas un peu plus d'espace pour moi? »
