Winter Warm-Up Sample

"The godly may trip seven times, but they will get up again. But one disaster is enough to overthrow the wicked." — Proverbs 24:16 (NLT)

Failure is never final for those who trust in God. This verse is a powerful reminder that stumbling doesn't disqualify us from God's purpose.

I once pursued a goal with all my heart, only to face an unexpected setback that left me questioning everything. But in that low moment, God reminded me that resilience in faith is not about never falling, it's about always getting back up. When we rise again through His strength, we become living testimonies of grace and perseverance.

Is there an area in your life where you’ve fallen or failed? Today, take one small step forward; whether that’s praying again, reaching out, trying one more time, or simply choosing to believe that God isn’t finished with you.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You that my failures are not the end of my story. Give me the courage to rise again, even when I feel weak. Remind me that You are with me in every stumble and that Your grace empowers me to keep going. I trust You to turn every setback into a setup for something greater. Amen.
