If I fail, I will be rejected. If I’m rejected, I will be mocked, laughed-at and excluded. If I am excluded, left out, and abandoned, I will end up alone.

I hate being alone. Because in the alone place, I remind myself of the times I failed. I replay what happened and the people who rejected me. Finally, I am haunted by the times I was excluded, left out, and didn’t fit in.

So, in the alone place I remember all the painful times I failed and ended up alone. I hate aloneness more than anything else. And I hate failing, feeling like a failure, and being flawed.

I hate everything about failure!

Summary

I really, really, really HATE FAILING!

Prayer

Father, I hate failing. Thank you for never making me feel like a failure. Thank you that I’m always welcome in your presence. With you I never have to be alone again. You are always with me. Thank you for your love and thank you for Jesus. Amen.

Bible Connection

Jesus said,
I will not leave you as Orphans; I will come to you. Before long, the world will not see me anymore, but you will see me. Because I live, you also will live. On that day, you will realize that I am in the Father, and you are in me, and I am in you. – John 14:18–20 (NIV)

Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid or tremble at them, for the Lord your God is the one who goes with you. He will not fail you or forsake you. – Deuteronomy 31:6 (NASB1995)
