Failure
 Fritz Chery  August 5, 2015

 
Bible verses about failure
We all will fail at some point in our life. Failing is a
learning experience so we can do better next time.
There were many Biblical leaders who failed, but
did they dwell on them? No they learned from their
mistakes and kept on moving forward.
Determination and failure leads to success. You
fail and you get up and you try again. Eventually
you will get it right. Just ask Thomas Edison.
When you give up that is failure.

True failure is not


even trying to get
back up, but just
quitting. You could
have been so close,
but you say it’s not
going to work. God is
always near and if
you fall He’ll pick you
up and dust you off.

Keep on pursuing
righteousness and
use God’s strength.
We must have faith in the Lord. Stop trusting in the
arms of the flesh and the things that are seen.

Put your trust in God. If God told you to do


something and if something is God’s will then it
will never fail.
 

Quotes

Failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part


of success.
A failure is not a loss. It’s a gain. You learn. You
change. You grow.
“It is better to make a thousand failures than to
be too cowardly to ever undertake anything.”
Clovis G. Chappell

Get back up and keep moving.

1. Jeremiah 8:4 Jeremiah, say this to the people of


Judah: ‘This is what the Lord says: “‘You know if a
man falls down, he gets up again. And if a man
goes the wrong way, he turns around and comes
back.

2. Proverbs 24:16 The righteous may fall seven


times but still get up, but the wicked will stumble
into trouble.

3. Proverbs 14:32 The wicked are crushed by


disaster, but the godly have a refuge when they
die.
4. 2 Corinthians 4:9 We are persecuted, but God
does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we
are not destroyed.

The good thing about failing is that you learn from


it. Learn from mistakes so you don’t keep
repeating them.

5. Proverbs 26:11 Like a dog that returns to its


vomit, a fool does the same foolish things again
and again.

6. Psalm 119:71 It was good for me to be afflicted


so that I could learn Your statutes.

Sometimes before we even fail because of


anxious thoughts we feel like failures. We think
what if it doesn’t work, what if God doesn’t
answer. We must not let fear overtake us. We
must trust in the Lord. Go to the Lord in prayer. If
a door is for you to enter, then it will remain open.
If God closes a door don’t worry because He has
an even better one open for you. Spend time with
Him in prayer and allow Him to guide.

7. Revelation 3:8 I know your works. Because you


have limited strength, have kept My word, and
have not denied My name, look, I have placed
before you an open door that no one is able to
close.

8. Psalm 40:2-3 He drew me up from the pit of


destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet
upon a rock, making my steps secure. He put a
new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our
God. Many will see and fear, and put their trust in
the Lord.

9. Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust the Lord with all your


heart, and don’t depend on your own
understanding. Remember the Lord in all you
do, and he will give you success.

10. 2 Timothy 1:7 The Spirit God gave us does not


make us afraid. His Spirit is a source of power and
love and self-control.

God will help us when we do fail. But remember if


we do fail He has a good reason in allowing it to
happen. We might not understand it at that
moment, but God will prove to be faithful in the
end.

11. Deuteronomy 31:8 The LORD is the one who is


going ahead of you. He will be with you. He won’t
abandon you or leave you. So don’t be afraid or
terrified.”

12. Psalm 37:23-24 The steps of a good man are


ordered by the Lord: and he delighteth in his
way. Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast
down: for the Lord upholdeth him with his hand.

13. Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you;


do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will
strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with
my righteous right hand.

14. Micah 7:8 Our enemies have no reason to gloat


over us. We have fallen, but we will rise again. We
are in darkness now, but the Lord will give us light.

15. Psalm 145:14 He helps those who are in


trouble; he lifts those who have fallen.

God did not reject you. 

16. Isaiah 41:9 I brought you from the ends of the


earth and called you from its farthest corners. I
said to you: You are My servant; I have chosen you
and not rejected you.

 
Forget about the past and press on towards the
eternal prize.

17. Philippians 3:13-14 Brothers and sisters, I do


not consider myself to have attained this. Instead I
am single-minded: Forgetting the things that are
behind and reaching out for the things that are
ahead, with this goal in mind, I strive toward the
prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.

18. Isaiah 43:18 So don’t remember what


happened in earlier times. Don’t think about what
happened a long time ago.

God’s love

19. Lamentations 3:22 Because of the LORD’s


great love we are not consumed, for his
compassions never fail.

Reminder

2o. Romans 3:23 For all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God.

 
Continually confess your sins and make war with
sin.

21. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful


and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.

True failure is when you quit and stay down.

22. Hebrews 10:26 If we deliberately keep on


sinning after we have received the knowledge of
the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left.

23. 2 Peter 2:21 It would be better if they had never


known the way to righteousness than to know it
and then reject the command they were given to
live a holy life.

Overcoming

24. Galatians 5:16 So I say, walk by the Spirit, and


you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.

25. Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through


Christ who strengthens me.
