Week 11: Overcoming Fear of Failure

“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.” – 2 Timothy 1:7 (CSB)

The fear of failure can hold us back from stepping into God’s plans. But God equips us with the power, love, and wisdom we need to succeed in His name. Mistakes and failures are part of growth and can lead to breakthroughs when approached with a heart of faith.

This week, let’s choose to trust God and step out boldly, knowing He works all things for our good and His glory.

For musicians, fear of missing a note or playing incorrectly can be paralyzing. Instead of focusing on perfection, focus on worship. Mistakes are part of the process, and each one can teach you something valuable about trusting God and growing as a musician.

For the tech team, the pressure to avoid errors during a service can feel overwhelming. Instead of letting fear dominate, rely on preparation and prayer. Mistakes happen, but God’s work through you is not diminished by them. Learn from each one and move forward with confidence.

  1. Personal Reflection: Identify one fear holding you back and surrender it to God in prayer.

  2. Team Reflection: Share one past failure and how it helped you grow in your role.

  3. Sunday Preparation:Approach Sunday with boldness, trusting God to work through your efforts, even if they’re not perfect.
