My Failures~~God's Focus

There have been many times in my life when I have felt or have been made to feel like a failure. Most of us have had instances when this has happened. Because of these insecurities this prayer came to me. "Help me to listen to You and focus on You and not my failures. God, by focusing on my failures I'm putting You in a box that says that You're not big enough to help me and to change me."

"That in everything you are enriched by him, in all utterance, and in all knowledge; Who shall also confirm you unto the end, that you may be blameless in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ."I Corinthians 1:5,8

What sets Christianity apart from all other religions is that other religions are based on what the person does. This puts the emphasis on what the PERSON does--not on what has been done by God, through Jesus Christ. The religion is about ME and what I do to go to Heaven, not about what Jesus did to give us life eternal.

Focus on God. He's taken care of the failures by having a relationship with us, not by us having a religion.
