I had a bit of deciding among the resources I had to choose from today. One I found about the 6 reasons to quit reading the Bible followed along with today’s quotes but I decided that it will stand alone in a separate post I will provide at a later time. The one I chose has 25 Bible verses about failure and how we are directed to respond. God’s Word is so full of inspirational and life guiding scriptures. I hope y’all find one that will be of significance for you as you face failure and trying again. Be blessed my RP Family and have a glorious day.
Bible verses about failure
We all will fail at some point in our life. Failing is a learning experience so we can do better next time. There were many Biblical leaders who failed, but did they dwell on them? No they learned from their mistakes and kept on moving forward. Determination and failure leads to success. You fail and you get up and you try again. Eventually you will get it right. Just ask Thomas Edison. When you give up that is failure.
25 Encouraging Bible Verses About Failure
True failure is not even trying to get back up, but just quitting. You could have been so close, but you say it’s not going to work. 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. We must have faith in the Lord. Stop trusting in the arms of the flesh and the things that are seen.
Put your trust in God. If God told you to do something and if something is God’s will then it will never fail.
Quotes
“Failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”
“A failure is not a loss. It’s a gain. You learn. You change. You grow.”
“It is better to make a thousand failures than to be too cowardly to ever undertake anything.” Clovis G. Chappell
Get back up and keep moving.
1. Jeremiah 8:4 Jeremiah, say this to the people of Judah: This is what the Lord says: You know if a man falls down, he gets up again. And if a man goes the wrong way, he turns around and comes back.
2. Proverbs 24:16 The righteous may fall seven times but still get up, but the wicked will stumble into trouble.
3. Proverbs 14:32 The wicked are crushed by disaster, but the godly have a refuge when they die.
4. 2 Corinthians 4:9 We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed.
The good thing about failing is that you learn from it. Learn from mistakes so you don’t keep repeating them.
5. Proverbs 26:11 Like a dog that returns to its vomit, a fool does the same foolish things again and again.
6. Psalm 119:71 It was good for me to be afflicted so that I could learn Your statutes.
Sometimes before we even fail because of anxious thoughts we feel like failures. We think what if it doesn’t work, what if God doesn’t answer. We must not let fear overtake us. We must trust in the Lord. Go to the Lord in prayer. If a door is for you to enter, then it will remain open. If God closes a door don’t worry because He has an even better one open for you. Spend time with Him in prayer and allow Him to guide.
7. Revelation 3:8 I know your works. Because you have limited strength, have kept My word, and have not denied My name, look, I have placed before you an open door that no one is able to close.
8. Psalm 40:2-3 He drew me up from the pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in the Lord.
9. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust the Lord with all your heart, and don’t depend on your own understanding. Remember the Lord in all you do, and he will give you success.
10. 2 Timothy 1:7 The Spirit God gave us does not make us afraid. His Spirit is a source of power and love and self-control.
God will help us when we do fail. But remember if we do fail He has a good reason in allowing it to happen. We might not understand it at that moment, but God will prove to be faithful in the end.
11. Deuteronomy 31:8 The LORD is the one who is going ahead of you. He will be with you. He won’t abandon you or leave you. So don’t be afraid or terrified.
12. Psalm 37:23-24 The steps of a good man are ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.
13. Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.
14. Micah 7:8 Our enemies have no reason to gloat over us. We have fallen, but we will rise again. We are in darkness now, but the Lord will give us light.
15. Psalm 145:14 He helps those who are in trouble; he lifts those who have fallen.
God did not reject you.
16. Isaiah 41:9 I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from its farthest corners. I said to you: You are My servant; I have chosen you and not rejected you.
Forget about the past and press on towards the eternal prize.
17. Philippians 3:13-14 Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I am single-minded: Forgetting the things that are behind and reaching out for the things that are ahead, with this goal in mind, I strive toward the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.
18. Isaiah 43:18 So don’t remember what happened in earlier times. Don’t think about what happened a long time ago.
God’s love
19. Lamentations 3:22 Because of the LORD’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
20. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
Continually confess your sins and make war with sin.
21. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
True failure is when you quit and stay down.
22. Hebrews 10:26 If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left.
23. 2 Peter 2:21 It would be better if they had never known the way to righteousness than to know it and then reject the command they were given to live a holy life.
Overcoming
24. Galatians 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.
25. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.

I pray that you and I persevere in being honorable, trustworthy with wisdom, my friend and brother-in-Christ PO1 H Gene Lawrence and sister-in-Christ Linda Lawrence.
LORD YOU do everything perfectly always. We who are created in YOUR image all-too-often need to learn. I pray for patience and compassion in parents as they raise children. In general children want to please parents and try to be helpful and often times they can be clumsy. Give parents and grandparents grace and wisdom to encourage the young and train them up in the way they are bent in the love and admonition of the LORD.
I pray that each and every one of YOUR adopted sons and daughters understands exactly what, when and how to persevere. I pray that YOU prompt each of us when we need to stop trying.
To fulfil YOUR plan, YOU ordain ways and means to accomplish YOUR will. At times you use people in YOUR plan. Give us the ability to respond instantly to YOUR prompts and I pray that we respond as quickly as possible to obey.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs to all in the Eagle's nest.
Try again. What a perfect thought for me. When I finished with my PT this time, the therapist showed me several things to work on and I just laughed and said I can't do those. Well, this morning, I gave one of them a try and I was able to do it and do it better than she demonstrated to me. So, I will be working on the rest of the skills that I thought I would not be able to do again. And so I will continue to try until I can do them or get as close as possible.
