“You miss every shot you don't take.” Wayne Gretzky

"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” Matthew 6:25-27

Attempt: “to make an effort to do, accomplish, solve, or effect” Merriam-Webster

So many times in my life I have failed to even attempt to accomplish a goal, fearing failure. I only wish that in those times when I feared failure I would have remembered that God was on my side. You see, it's not that we don't have to worry about falling (we all will) it's that we can trust God can catch us before we hit bottom if we only ask Him. Because of the help God grants we have the ability to get up, dust ourselves off and take the shots that used to scare us. So let's do our best to put our faith in the abilities of our Maker and look forward to future successes with Him.
