Good morning my RP. Trying gives me the impression that we may have failed and are attempting to get it right this time. What does the Bible have to say about failure? I hope the following article shows you what God wants of us in that regard, Be Blessed today and always.

What does the Bible say about failure?
Bible failureaudio Question: "What does the Bible say about failure?"
Answer: To fail from time to time is only human, but to be a “failure” is when we are defeated by failure, refusing to rise and try again. Christians sometimes believe they should be immune to failure by virtue of their relationship with God, but the truth is that God often allows us to fail for a variety of reasons. Job 14:1 says, "Man born of woman is of few days and full of trouble.” That doesn’t say “unbelievers” or “the ungodly.” It says man born of woman. What does that mean? Everyone. Life is full of trouble, even for those who belong to God through faith in Christ. We are to expect it. This means God does not promise life to be without problems, sorrow, and, yes, failure, just because we believe in Him.
Luke 9:1-5 describes how Jesus sent His disciples out to preach the gospel and perform miracles. He also taught them how to handle failure. “If people do not welcome you, shake the dust off your feet when you leave their town, as a testimony against them." Jesus wanted the soon-to-be apostles to model themselves after Him. He gave them power and authority over devils, power to heal the sick, etc. Most of all, Jesus wanted them to have boldness. He knew that not everyone was going to receive the truth about Him, but in saying “Shake the dust from your feet,” He meant for them to move on and plow forward. Witnessing and being rejected can make us feel like failures, but if we understand we are to expect it (John 15:18), what appears to be failure actually becomes a badge of honor.
When we feel failure come against us, our first reaction may be to run or give up. When it comes to sin, we are all capable of avoiding it. Even in complete love, faith, and devotion to God, we can fall, but God is not shocked by this which is why He sent His Son to die for our sins. We get back up again, and we start over. But we should know that we cannot do it alone. We must keep our eyes on our Savior, following and obeying Him and laying aside the sin that inevitably leads to spiritual failure, as Hebrews 12:1 says, “Let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.” God has marked out a course for each of us, and sometimes that course includes failure. But when we cling to the Savior, even our failures can be turned into successes by the One who controls all things and who strengthens us in our weakness (Philippians 4:11-13). Our ultimate victory in Jesus is assured, but complete victory will only come when we are out of this world of temptation and safe in the arms of the Lord in heaven.

I pray that you and I are blessed with wisdom to know when to persevere, when to be firm and when to bend, and who to trust for guidance, my friend and brother-in-Christ PO1 H Gene Lawrence and sister-in-ChristLinda Lawrence.
I lift up each person who is mentally struggling about their own their near-term goals and decisions as well as those who are struggling for wisdom after being asked for advice by family members and friends.
YOU are the source of all wisdom. YOU bless each and every one who sincerely desired wisdom from YOU. I pray that even know YOU impart wisdom to each one of YOUR adopted children who is struggling for direction and guidance.
I lift up national, state and local leaders who have been elected or appointed as business leaders. I pray that YOU bless the President, the governors of each state and mayors of each town with wisdom. Turn each away from any wickedness that is brought to them and open their eyes and ears to truth.
LORD I pray that YOU allow confusion to break out among those people planning evil in legislatures and leadership positions at all levels. If it is within YOUR will, turn their hearts towards YOU and save as many as YOU are willing.
I pray for the children and spiritually immature and pray that YOU bless each with sleep tonight and perseverance to do well in studies and throughout their lives.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

XLNT writing! When my husband died it was very difficult for many years-I've spend several years rebuilding and was let down by many around me. Facing devastation I had to reinvent what it meant to 'succeed'. Your Biblical snippets are right on spot of reality!

Good RED Friday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs What a great topic. I love your thoughts on this one today.
I am a big Rodney Atkins fan and I especially like this one; if you quit when things are going wrong, you are apt to get stuck in a bad place. Keep going, keep trying and almost always you can make things better for yourself or someone else.
