Fuel for Even Greater Determination

When people try something, but are unsuccessful, one of the primary reasons they give up is that they feel like a failure.

The truth is we are never a failure unless we give up.

Even though we do our best, we all have times when things just do not work out the way we hope they will be.

We may fail at one thing, or even a few things, but that certainly does not make us failures in life.

Believe it or not, we should be grateful for the failures we encounter because they help prepare us for future success.

Failing at some things humbles us and teaches us the lessons we need to learn for the next challenge ahead of us.

You do not have to feel defected from failure. Think of failure as fuel for greater determination and success in the future.

Prayer of Thanks

Lord God

When I am in a difficult situation and tempted to give up,

Help me to remember that you are with me.

Thank You that you give me the strength and determination to keep going.

And thank you that no matter what happens, I know you have a good plan for my life, “A rich and satisfying life.” (John 10:10).
