In the same way the Spirit also comes to help us, weak as we are. For we do not know how we ought to pray; the Spirit himself pleads with God for us in groans that words cannot express. And God, who sees into our hearts, knows what the thought of the Spirit is; because the Spirit pleads with God on behalf of his people and accordance with his will.

We know that in all things God works for good with those who love him, those whom he has called according to his purpose. Those whom God had already chosen he also set apart to become like his Son, so that the Son would be the first among many brothers. And so those whom God set apart, he called; and those he called, he put right with himself, and he shared his glory with them.

This should remind us of our failures as believers in Christ. God never calls our sin good, yet He doesn't treat failure as final. By his grace, He can bring good out of our greatest defeat. God is working all things together for the good of those who love Him. What a hopeful mystery! If you love God and want to please him, don't give up or get down on yourself. Ask Him for forgiveness and for strength to overcome your weaknesses. Trust Him. Let Him bring "good" out of your miss. - Failure is never final for those who begin again with God.
