We have established that failure is a real-world inevitability, and that we have reasons for failures, but we need a little bit more than these reassurances when we are standing in the rubble of shattered dreams. What ammunitions is available to us in God’s Word. Allow me to suggest 6 Biblical steps to deal with failure:1. Acknowledge your Failure (Luke 15:21) – It is no good to call it something else, call it by its name. There will be no peace in your heart until you confess your failure and turn toward the Lord to move forward.2. Accept God’s forgiveness (Psalm 103:10) God doesn’t deal with us on the basis of our failures, but in the light of His grace. 3.

In Qumran there were found scrolls, that were contained in clay pots. The clay pots were common and ordinary, but the scrolls that they contained were priceless. 2 Corinthians 4:7 reminds us that our bodies are vessels like those clay pots, while they seem to be of little value at times by themselves, what those clay pots contain are priceless.
