6. WHAT DOES THE BIBLE SAY ABOUT FAILURE.
Proverbs 24:16 The righteous may fall seven times but still get up, but the wicked will stumble into trouble.
Jeremiah 8:4 Jeremiah, say this to the people of Judah: This is what the Lord says: You know if a man falls down, he gets up again. And if a man goes the wrong way, he turns around and comes back.

8. the benefit in every bad experience.
1 John 5:14 This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.
1 Samuel 15:32 Then Samuel said, "Bring me Agag, the king of the Amalekites." And Agag came to him cheerfully. And Agag said, "Surely the bitterness of death is past."

9. Change your response to failure by accepting responsibility.
Galatians 6:4-5 “But let each one test his own work, and then his reason to boast will be in himself alone and not in his neighbor. For each will have to bear his own load.”
2 Corinthians 6:3 “We put no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry.”

10. Resilience. Say goodbye to yesterday.
Here are five behaviors of people who haven’t gotten over past difficulties:
Comparison. Either measuring your failures against those of others, or convincing yourself that your circumstances were harder than theirs.

11. Rationalization. Telling yourself and others that you have good reasons for not getting over past hurts and mistakes. Believing that those who encourage you “just don’t understand.“
Isolation. Pulling back and keeping yourself separate from others, either to avoid dealing with the issues, or to continue to feel sorry for yourself.
Regret. Getting stuck lamenting or trying to fix things that cannot be changed.
Bitterness. Feeling like a victim and blaming others for negative outcomes.

12. GET YOUR ERASERS

13. God will help us when we do fail
God will help us when we do fail. But remember if we do fail He has a good reason in allowing it to happen. We might not understand it at that moment, but God will prove to be faithful in the end.
Micah 7:8 Our enemies have no reason to gloat over us. We have fallen, but we will rise again. We are in darkness now, but the Lord will give us light.
Isaiah 41:9 I brought you from the ends of the earth and called you from its farthest corners. I said to you: You are My servant; I have chosen you and not rejected you.
Psalm 145:14 He helps those who are in trouble; he lifts those who have fallen.
