Release Your Fear of Failure
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.—2 Corinthians 4:16–17 (NIV)
Norman Vincent Peale said, “Fear can infect us early in life until eventually it cuts a deep groove of apprehension in all our thinking. To counteract it, let faith, hope and courage enter your thinking. Fear is strong, but faith is stronger yet.” God wants you to let go of your desire to be perfect. Instead, He desires that you learn from your mistakes and work toward being better every day. Striving for perfection will not make you great, but not giving up—will!
Lord, help me release my fear of failure and go boldly forward.
