[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.

[PigRigger]

"I am prideful, hostile and full of hypocrisy..."

That is human condition; we all are guilty of this to some varying degree.

[Revelation 911]

God intends for us to fail so we can learn from our mistakes.

be careful - these are only failures in our perspective as "mistakes" I contrue to be something that didnt go along with our plan - It is quite possible it has gone along with Gods - and I'd go further to say He will not author evil or sin.

So to put a finer point on it - He may use instances, of what we percieve as mistakes in our judgment or unfortunate events to provide us a learning opportunity - It will however give the devil no foothold and certainly be used to ultimately glorify Himself

Job comes to mind
