Failure
Help for Those Who Feel like they have Failed God:
Have you ever failed God? Have you ever promised to serve Him and then turned right around and fallen flat on your face? Perhaps you were in trouble and promised God something in desperation. “I’ll serve you, Lord,” you may have said. “I’ll do whatever you want me to do.”
But when the moment of testing came, you failed the Lord. Perhaps you made your promise of allegiance when you were at a spiritual high in your life. You may have been excited about what God was doing in your life at that moment. Perhaps you had high expectations for the future.
Sometimes we get so excited about our walk with God that we forget that it is only by His grace that we can persevere. We start promising to do things that we cannot humanly fulfill. When the pressures of life come upon us, we come into temptation. When the opportunity to take our stand for Christ arrives, we often blow it altogether. There are very few Christians, if any, who have not failed God somewhere along life’s journey.
And always when we do fail, there is great temptation to give up. Satan loves to tell us how worthless we are and beat us down with guilt and defeat. But when all seems hopeless, God always reminds us that there is still hope.
