Day 26: Peter – Strength After Failure

Scripture: Luke 22:54-62; John 21:15-17
Key Verse: “The Lord turned and looked straight at Peter. Then Peter remembered the Lord's word: ‘Before the rooster crows today, you will disown me three times.’ And he went outside and wept bitterly.” – Luke 22:61-62

Peter was bold, outspoken, and deeply committed to Jesus until the night of His arrest. In fear, Peter denied knowing Him, just as Jesus had foretold. The weight of his failure was crushing, and he wept bitterly.

But Jesus wasn’t done with Peter. After His resurrection, He restored Peter with a simple yet profound question: “Do you love Me?” Three times, Peter had denied Him, and three times, Jesus reaffirmed his calling.

Failure does not disqualify us from God’s purpose. Like Peter, we will fall short. But God’s strength is more significant than our weakness, and His grace restores us. No matter how often we stumble, He is ready to lift and use us for His glory.

Prayer Focus: Pray for the strength to move past failure, embrace God’s grace, and step into His purpose for you.
