Focus on Jesus
“Martha, Martha,” the Lord answered, “you are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.”—Luke 10:41–42 (NIV)

When You Feel Like a Failure
Say to them, This is what the Lord says: “When people fall down, do they not get up? When someone turns away, do they not return?”—Jeremiah 8:4 (NIV)
Mistakes are part of life. When failure strikes, instead of getting bogged down by defeat and discouragement, say a little prayer and keep trying. God’s strength will give you the encouragement and courage to keep going forward so that you can persevere until you succeed.
Heavenly Father, by the grace of Your mercy and strength no matter how many times I fall, I can always get up.
