Deuteronomy 31:18

"The Lord is the One who will go before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged."

We often fail to meet the expectations of others, or of ourselves for that matter. But when we have those cloudy days, we should not lose hope and become discouraged. Instead we should focus forward knowing that God is on our side. He understands when we fall short. His expectations are that we get back up and move ahead with faith.
