THE MAIN THEME: FAILING FORWARD 

TITLE: GOD’S PERSPECTIVE ON FAILURE

Our bible verse and quote for today’s devotional are: Psalm 145:14 (NIV)

"The Lord upholds all who fall and lifts up all who are bowed down." – 

and

Failure is only the opportunity to begin again, this time more wisely." 

– Henry Ford

Devotional

The world sees failure as defeat, but God sees it as part of our journey of growth. When we fail, He does not condemn us; instead, He guides us, teaches us, and helps us rise again.

Throughout Scripture, we see how God uses people who failed:

• Moses ran away after killing an Egyptian, but God called him back to lead His people.
  
  
• David fell into sin, yet God still called him a man after His own heart.
  
  
• Peter denied Jesus, but Jesus restored him and used him to build the church.
  
  

Failure is never the end of our story when God is involved. He can redeem every mistake and turn it into something beautiful.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. Have I been too hard on myself for past failures?
   
   
2. How does knowing God’s perspective on failure change the way I see my mistakes?
   
   
3. How can I invite God into my failures and allow Him to work through them?
   Let us pray

Father, thank You for seeing me beyond my failures. Help me to embrace Your grace and learn from every mistake. Teach me to see failure the way You do as part of my journey, not the end of it. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Please say these words of affirmation after me. Say them, mean them, own them, and live them: 

• My failure is not final, God is still writing my story.
• God’s grace is bigger than my mistakes.
• I will not let failure define me, I will let it refine me.
• God is using my setbacks for a greater purpose.

Do have a fulfilling day. Take good care of yourself and see you tomorrow!
