Back in June, I wrote over at Ain’t Complicated<\/i>: I Hate Failure<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This morning I thought to compile a list (with links to related posts of mine) of how to minimize failure. <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Remember it is God who must build your “house” (Except the Lord<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  2. Humble yourself before God…and others (I Used to Be Twenty-Six<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  3. Praise God for His merciful kindness (Why<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  4. Don’t forget that without God you can do nothing, but with Him, you can do “all things” (Can Do Nothing<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  5. Avoid sin (The Agony of Defeat<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  6. Cry out to God. Keep crying out (I Cried; He Heard<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  7. Acknowledge God in all your ways…through the day. You might even try saying, “Hi, God!” every so often (In All My Ways<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  8. Remember you are living in His presence…right now…and later. Always, really (Living in His Presence. Today.<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  9. Commit your works to Him (Established for Demolished<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  10. Notice and thank God for the good He eventually brings even from your failures (Looking at a Towering Stack of Failure?<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  11. Root out, turn your back on, repent of, and utterly reject pride (Haughy & Lofty Me?<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  12. Gain some wisdom from leaf watching (Wisdom from Leaf Watching<\/a>).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    That’s a long list, I know. And if you click each of those links and read my pieces there, it will take you a while.<\/p>\n

    But if you’re failing at what you’re doing anyway, you just as well take a break from that and read this.<\/p>\n

    And if you don’t know what you should be doing next anyway, you just as well take a break from your puzzlement and read this.<\/p>\n

    You’ll be glad you took the time. I think. Especially if you’re a child of the Almighty.<\/p>\n
