Introduction Fear of failure is a common struggle among men. It can stem from personal expectations, societal pressures, or past experiences. This fear often holds us back from trying new things, taking risks, or pursuing our dreams. But what does the Bible say about failure and how can we find the courage to overcome this fear?
Scripture Reading: Joshua 1:9 "Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go."
Reflection Joshua faced immense pressure and the potential for failure as he stepped into Moses' shoes to lead Israel. But God's command was clear - be strong and courageous.
This strength and courage come not from our abilities but from God's presence.
When we understand that God is with us in every situation, the fear of failure loses its grip. He doesn't promise success in every worldly endeavor, but He assures us of His support and guidance.
In God's view, failure isn't about falling short in our efforts; it's about failing to trust in Him.
