You can Rise Again Where You Fail

Jer. 8:4, Prov. 24:16, 2 Cor. 4:9

It is important to know that anything good does not come easy and we all fail at some point in our lives. Jesus encouraged us not to give up at the face of temptation but we should put our hope in God to lead us through and be overcomers. Failing is a learning experience so that we do better next time. We had biblical characters like Job and Peter who failed but did not dwell on them. Instead, they learnt from their mistakes and kept moving forward. Determination and failure lead to success. When you fail, you get up and try again and you will get it right. God is always near and if you fall, He’ll pick you up and dust you off. Keep on pursuing righteousness and use God’s strength. A failure is not a loss, it’s a gain, you learn, you change, you grow. You only fail when you stop trying.

POINT OF EMPHASIS: The good thing about failure is that you learn from it.

PRAYER POINT: Lord, give me the courage to face and triumph over challenges that come my way.
