Reflection

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: It is the courage to continue that counts.”
– Winston Churchill

Prayer

God of Courage,

As we walk through life attempting to do good and be good in the world, we often find that our attempts lack total success.  However, when we allow ourselves to be guided by you, we receive courage to continue striving, learning from what did not quite work, and moving forward in trying again.  Remind us that failure is not fatal; rather, it is just part of the journey to success. Grant us the courage to remain on the journey, learning what you are teaching us through past mistakes. Amen.

Call to Action

In looking back on some of my failed attempts, how have I been guided through these mistakes to pathways of success?
