Biblical Answer

What if I don't make it? If you're struggling with the idea of not making it in life, or not achieving your goals, I want to encourage you to remember that you are not defined by your successes or failures. Your worth and value come from who you are as a child of God, not from what you accomplish. As the Bible says, "For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do" (Ephesians 2:10). You are a unique and valuable creation of God, and your purpose in life is to fulfill the good works that He has prepared for you.

It's also important to remember that not making it in the sense of achieving your goals or fulfilling your dreams does not mean that you are a failure. Failure is not the opposite of success, but rather a stepping stone to success. As the apostle Paul wrote, "I press on to make it my own, because Christ Jesus has made me his own. Brothers, I do not consider that I have made it my own. But one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and straining forward to what lies ahead" (Philippians 3:13-14). Paul was not focused on his past successes or failures, but on pressing forward towards his future in Christ.

So, what if you don't make it? Don't give up. Don't lose heart. Remember that you are a child of God, and that He has a plan for your life. Trust in Him, and trust in His sovereignty. As the Bible says, "And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose" (Romans 8:28). God is not done with you yet. He has a purpose for your life, and He will see you through to the end. So, don't give up. Keep moving forward, trusting in God's goodness and sovereignty. He will make a way for you, even when you don't make it.
