Failing A Spiritual Test

Jehovah, Jehovah, a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abundant in loving-kindness. - Ex. 34:6

"The Devil will be destroyed because that is what he deserves, but he would like to have you feel that you deserve the same judgment. (Rev. 20:10) Do not let Satan succeed in this scheme to destroy your faith. (Eph. 6:11) Instead, "take your stand against him" in this regard, even as you do in other ways. (1 Pet. 5:9) At Revelation 12:10, Satan is called "the accuser of our brothers". He "accuses them day and night" before God. Reflecting on that verse may help you to see that Satan, the false accuser, would be pleased if you were to accuse and condemn yourself, although Jehovah does not do so. (1 John 3:19-22) Why keep on agonizing over your failings to such an extent that you feel like giving up? Do not let Satan destroy your relationship with God. Never let the Devil blind you to the fact that Jehovah is good."

I feel like I've been failing lately... so this was right on time.
