How do you deal with failure? What do you do when you let yourself down? How do you deal with those things that you know you can not change? You know that you have nothing in you to help you to overcome. Answer: Be honest!  Be….honest! Father, I have failed. Lord, I am weak. God, this is too much for me to handle. I want to do what is right. I want to obey. I want to serve you. I want to be blessed. I want to see my family blessed but Lord I have failed. Beloved, the greater sin is not in failing, for we all have failed. The greater sin is not in being weak, for we all are weak right now. The greater sin has to do with your not accepting what God wants to give you to overcome…to be successful…to obey Him. He wants to give to you His grace and His power. The greater sin has to do with your knowing that you can not obey God and keep His word in your own power, yet you do not open your heart to receive His power and grace to enable you to do what He wants you to do.
