Everyone has experienced disappointment when things don’t go as expected. When failure knocks on our door, what should we do? Should we seek help from someone, seek advice, change our approach, try again, or deal with the fear of failure on our own?

When things don’t go as planned, it can be frustrating and make us feel down. For some people, failure can lead to depression, anxiety, sadness, and, in some cases, even thoughts of ending it all. When this happens, some people tend to compare their lives to others and feel like they don’t measure up. They might say things like, “She got her degree,” “He got his dream house,” “Her family is united,” and “His sentence is reduced, and soon he will leave prison.” When they look at themselves, they see nothing but failure. Despite trying repeatedly and winning in some areas, they feel they have failed again. Do you ever feel like a failure? Are you tasting the bitterness that life has to offer?

There are two ways to approach the circumstances of life: the right way and the wrong way.

The wrong way includes:

– Comparing yourself with others

– Giving up on trying again due to fear of failure

– Seeking advice from the wrong person

– Accepting the circumstances and surrendering to depression

The right way is to turn to God, who can make you a winner. As mentioned in Jeremiah 32:26-27, “Then the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying, ‘Behold, I am the Lord, the God of all flesh. Is there anything too hard for Me?'”

There is nothing too hard for the Lord. Once you put Him first, He will take care of all your needs. The Almighty desires to give you the best, transform your life, and bless you with the Holy Spirit.

Whenever you fear failing, turn to Him and ask for guidance. The Holy Spirit is available 24/7 to help and guide you in the right direction.

God can transform your failures into successes. Believe in His power!

May the God of the Bible bless you,

Bishop Bira Joshua
