Weakness and failure
Career failure
Not getting the job you wanted, or feeling you have failed at your work.
What the Bible can tell you
And whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Colossians 3:23
Commit your deeds to the LORD, and your plans shall succeed.
Proverbs 16:3
Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work, nor plan, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, where you are going.
Ecclesiastes 9:10
A human reading
A professional setback does not mean you are not capable of working. Look at what happened, learn from it, and seek help from your network. Each attempt brings you closer to something better.
This page offers reflection and companionship; it does not replace a professional. If what you feel weighs heavily or lasts for weeks, talk with someone you trust or with a health professional.
