Recurring Failures: Enduring Struggles

Recurring Failures: Enduring Struggles!

“This is where men, even the trustiest, fail us. Their heart is never so wholly given to any matter but that some trifle of a meal, or a drink, or a sleep, or a joke, or a girl, may come in between them and it, and then (even if you are a queen) you'll get no more good out of them until they've had their way” - C. S. Lewis

Failing and never getting back up is what the enemy wants from us, and we have to lean towards God for a helping hand. So he could steer us back in the right direction.

What are some things that occur when you fail as a fellow Christian?

Guilt

Once we have done something bad, the next thing we do is repent. But at the back of our minds, we are told that is never good enough. Then we find ourselves in a state of denial and so much negative remorse.

“Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.” - ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭51‬:‭2‬-‭3‬ ‭

Shame

There are moments throughout our day where we just feel shame about the wrongdoings that led us to sin. So much that our whole day is ruined and unpleasant to enjoy.

“Their end is destruction, their god is their belly, and they glory in their shame, with minds set on earthly things.” - ‭‭Philippians‬ ‭3‬:‭19‬ ‭

Depression

As more failure keeps being brought back up with our thoughts. The more we find ourselves in a situation that we cannot get out of. Thus, our mood and behavior start to impact the rest of our day because of it.

“The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. And those who know your name put their trust in you, for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.” - ‭‭Psalm‬ ‭9‬:‭9‬-‭10‬ ‭
