The words, “I am a failure” filled my mind this morning. I could give you all the reasons I am a failure, but that wouldn’t encourage either of us. Instead I will tell you what God said to my heart. “Let me live through you,” He said. “Let me empower you. Let me be your strength.”
If we are honest, we are all failures. But we have great power, strength and wisdom available to us with just a whispered prayer. “Father, I give you my thoughts and ask you to fill me with your wisdom. I give you my body and ask you to give me your strength. I give you my weakness and ask you to fill me with your power. My strength is made perfect in you. You are all wisdom, knowledge and understanding. If you leave me to myself, I will be like a lamb wondering in the wilderness of my own foolishness caught a thicket of the world’s voices seeking my destruction. You are my salvation. Hold me close to you as a Shepard holds an injured lamb. I love you as a child loves their daddy. I love you as a bride loves her husband to be. I love you more than words can express for you are the joy of my mornings, the hope of my tomorrows. Let me be a reflection of you. For you are magnificent glory.”

I am no longer a failure.
