Failure Turned Inside Out

You sit with your head in your hands thinking you're a total failure. "I've blown it again," you mutter to yourself in despair.

Hold it right there!

Did you know that Walt Disney went broke seven times and had a nervous breakdown before he became successful?

And that Enrico Caruso failed so many times with his singing that his teacher advised him to quit. He didn't. His mother saw to that. And he became one of the world's greatest tenors.

And Thomas Edison was called a dunce at school. Later, he failed more than six thousand times before perfecting the first electric light bulb.

God wants to turn your and my life around too when we fail. So, if you feel like giving up, don't. Remember failure is an event, not a person. Now is the time to give God a chance. It starts with being honest with yourself, with a trusted friend, and with God—admitting how and where you've failed and asking God to forgive you and to help you.

Dear God
please be merciful
to me
a sinner
I confess
all my sins
to you
Have mercy
on me
and forgive me

Thank you for hearing and answering my prayerz
