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!

THE MAIN THEME:  FAILING FORWARD

TITLE:  GET UP, IT'S NOT THE END

The bible verse for today’s devotional is:  Proverbs 24:16  

“for though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes.”

Devotional

Life has its ups and downs, and sometimes, we might feel like we're stuck or that everything is falling apart. Whether it's a failed exam, a disagreement with a friend, or just a tough day, it can feel like the end of the world. But the truth is, it’s not the end; it’s just a moment in your journey.

As a teen, you’re learning how to handle new challenges, and sometimes those challenges might make you want to give up. But God’s word reminds us in Proverbs 24:16 that even when we fall, we are not meant to stay down. It says, “The righteous may fall seven times, but they will rise again.” This is a reminder that failure or disappointment does not define you. What matters most is getting back up.

Why?

Because God’s love for you is bigger than any mistake, bigger than any failure. He has a purpose for your life, and no setback can take that away. If you’re facing challenges right now, remember this: God is with you, and He is always ready to help you get up again, stronger and wiser than before.

How to Get Up:

Acknowledge the Setback

It’s okay to feel hurt or disappointed. But don’t let those feelings control you. Recognize them and then choose to move forward.

Pray for Strength

Ask God for the strength to rise again. He promises that He is near to the broken-hearted and will give you the courage to face anything.

Learn from the Experience

Every setback is an opportunity to learn. What can you do differently next time? What did this teach you about yourself or your circumstances?

Keep Moving Forward

The key to getting back up is action. Don’t stay stuck in your thoughts; keep moving forward, even if it’s one small step at a time.

Here are a few reflective questions;

1.   When have I felt like giving up? How did I handle it?
2.   What is one step I can take today to rise again?
3.   How can I remind myself that God is always with me, even in tough times?

Let us pray:

Thank you, Lord, for your word to me today, I am reminded that my failures do not define me. When I fail, give me the strength to rise again. Help me trust that You have a greater plan for my life. Amen.                         

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

• I am not defined by my failures: 
• I am strengthened by them. 
• I will rise again with God’s help

Enjoy your day, while I see you, tomorrow.

TITLE: FAILURE DOES NOT DEFINE YOU

Our bible verse for today’s devotional is: Proverbs 24:16 (NIV)

"For though the righteous fall seven times, they rise again, but the wicked stumble when calamity strikes." 

Devotional 

Have you ever failed at something and felt like giving up? Maybe you studied hard for a test but still didn’t get the grade you wanted. Or perhaps you tried out for a sports team or a school play and didn’t make the cut. Failure can feel embarrassing, frustrating, and even painful.

But here’s the truth—failure does not define you! One mistake, one bad day, or even a series of setbacks do not determine your worth. God does not see you as a failure. He sees you as His child, full of potential and purpose. The Bible reminds us in Proverbs 24:16 that even when the righteous fall, they rise again. That means failure is not the end of the story. It’s just a step in your journey.

Think about some of the greatest people in history. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before he successfully invented the light bulb. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team before becoming one of the greatest players of all time. Even Peter, one of Jesus’ disciples, denied Him three times but later became a leader in spreading the gospel. They didn’t let failure define them, and neither should you.

God is more concerned about your perseverance than your perfection. Each failure is an opportunity to learn, grow, and trust Him more. So, when you fall, don’t stay down. Get back up, knowing that God is with you every step of the way.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. Can I think of a time when I failed at something? How did it make me feel?
2. What lesson did I learn from that failure?
3. How can I remind myself that failure does not define me?

Let us pray:

Dear God, thank You for loving me no matter what. Help me to see failure as a stepping stone, not a stopping point. Give me the courage to rise again, learn from my mistakes, and trust You in every challenge. Amen.

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

• I am not defined by my failures. 
• I am growing, learning, and becoming stronger with God’s help.

Stay strong, lovely ones. I’ll see y’all tomorrow.

THE MAIN THEME: FAILING FORWARD

TITLE: FAILURE AND HUMILITY

Our bible verse for today’s devotional is: James 4:6 (NIV):
 "But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says:“God opposes the proud
    but shows favor to the humble.’" 

Devotional:
Failure has a way of humbling us. It strips away our pride and reminds us that we don’t have all the answers. But here’s the good news—humility is a powerful key to growth.

Imagine a student who always scores the highest in class. One day, they fail an important test. At first, they felt embarrassed, but then they realised something—they had stopped studying as hard because they thought they knew everything. That failure, though painful, teaches them the value of humility. Instead of giving up, they choose to learn and improve.

Throughout history, many great people have faced failure. Thomas Edison failed thousands of times before inventing the light bulb. Nelson Mandela was imprisoned for years before leading South Africa to freedom. What did they have in common? Humility. They didn’t let failure define them. Instead, they embraced their setbacks, learned from them, and kept moving forward.

In the Bible, Peter failed when he denied Jesus three times. Yet, he humbled himself before God instead of running from his mistake. That humility led to his restoration and influential role in building the early church.

Failure is not the end—it is a reminder that we are always learning. It humbles us so we can grow. When we embrace humility, we open the door to wisdom, resilience, and success.

Here are a few reflective questions:

1. How has failure humbled me in the past?
2. Do I see failure as a lesson or as an identity? Why?
3. How can humility help me become a better person?
4. What is one failure I can learn from today?

Let us pray:
Dear Lord, thank You for the lessons that failure teaches me. Help me see failure not as a defeat but as a chance to grow. Give me the humility to learn from my mistakes and the strength to move forward. Amen.

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

1. I embrace failure as a stepping stone to success.
2. Humility allows me to learn and grow.
3. My mistakes do not define me—God’s grace does.
4. Every setback is a setup for a greater comeback.

Stay humble, keep learning, and never stop growing! I’ll see you tomorrow!
