Today's Bible Verse: "Then the Lord said to Joshua, 'Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged. Take the whole army with you, and go up and attack Ai. For I have given into your hand the king of Ai, his people, his city and his land.'" — Joshua 8:1

What do you do when failure leaves you feeling discouraged or afraid to try again? Joshua 8:1 reminds us that failure is not the end of the story when we trust God. After Israel's defeat at Ai, God told Joshua not to be afraid or discouraged, showing that past mistakes and setbacks do not have to determine what comes next. When we turn back to God, learn from failure, and follow His direction, He can lead us forward with renewed courage and hope.
