Accept your failings with grace. Never feel bad about any good you tried to accomplish but failed. It’s not a sign of weakness. You’ll be rewarded in some way for any effort where your intention was good. . . no matter what the outcome.

Abraham, the Biblical patriarch, can be considered history’s most influential person. He endured severe trials, as when God commanded him to sacrifice his son! Yet he overcame every challenge and became endeared to the Lord.

Extremely difficult trials give you an opportunity to overcome them. When you do, you’ll be proud of your accomplishment, and the Holy One will be proud as well.
