C. When I fail...
1. I recognize that everyone fails.
2. I remember that God still loves me and His forgiveness is not dependent on my success.
3. I learn and grow from my failure.
4. I must put failure behind me.
D. To find triumph in failure...
1. I must acknowledge and admit my failure.
"Many people look at their past failures and fear the risk of pursuing a vision. Their motto is, 'If at first you don't succeed, destroy all the evidence that you've tried'." - John Maxwell
2. I must forgive myself. Just because I have failed in the past does not mean I have to give up on the future.
3. I must keep my focus on the future and not my past failure. God remembers my faith not my failure.
4. I need to ask, "What is God teaching me through this failure?"
“When you go through failures what are your first questions?
- ‘Why are people doing this to me?’
- ‘Why is God allowing this to happen to me?’
Or you may think:
- ‘I have been keeping my prayer life up to date and I have been walking with the Lord and obedient to His Word so why should this happen to me now?’
Better questions to ask might be:
- ‘What can I learn through this experience?’
- ‘What is God teaching me through this failure?’
- ‘Why are people doing this to me?’
- ‘Why is God allowing this to happen to me?’

5. I may face consequences from my failure, but these can be a reminder to me that God will always be with me.
6. I only fail when I stop trying.
"Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising each time we fall." - Oliver Goldsmith
7. God has ultimate victory for me as I trust Him and as I rely on His work through me. God only sees our efforts, not our successes.
