When it looks like I have failed
Lord are You trying to tell me something?

Failure doesn't mean I'm a failure.
It does mean I haven't yet succeeded.

Failure doesn't mean I have accomplished nothing.
It does mean I have learned something.

Failure doesn't mean I have been a fool.
It does mean I had enough faith to experiment.

Failure doesn't mean I have been disgraced.
It does mean I dared to try.

Failure doesn't mean I don't have it.
It does mean I have to do something a different way.

Failure doesn't mean I am inferior.
It does mean I am not perfect.

Failure doesn't mean I should give up.
It does mean I should try harder.

Failure doesn't mean You have abandoned me.
It does mean You have a better idea. Amen.
