Prayer 27, Failure - Faith

I pray that you have the faith to hand your failures, broken places, and dirty pieces to God today. May you fully surrender to His will and see what a beautiful masterpiece He will make with the ashes. 2 Corinthians 12:9 "...My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness..."

What would happen if we changed our mindset about failure? What if we stopped seeing failure as holes in the walls we place around ourselves, but as holes that God's perfect light can shine through?

I see a beautiful stained glass window. Each piece of glass was tested by fire and has its own shape and color. It is the specific properties and experiences of each piece of glass that give it the radiance we think of when we consider stained glass.

We, like each piece of glass, may feel insignificant and different from those around us. Though when we back up and see the whole picture, with the light shining through, we can see such beauty. Think of the stunning scenes of Jesus' life depicted with many little pieces of glass and how overwhelmingly perfect it all seems together.

May you let God's light shine through you and your failures to bring to life a breathtaking scene.

Blessings!
