[Revelation 911]

In particular, one's confidence and determination are strengthen by first failing

of our own works

and then succeeding after trying again.

....through the power of the Holy Spirit and the Grace of God

Is that what you meant ?

[PigRigger]

Not necessarily. I believe many times God intends for us to fail so we can learn from our mistakes. Sometime what we see as failure is really just God's way of moving us closer to success.

During these periods of adversity we may learn to be humble and less conceited, learn to support others, and come to understand what is important in our lives.

The wisdom of the Lord is far above human comprehension and understanding.
