Proverbs 24:16 "For a just [man] falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief."
When we get knocked down we need to get back up. We do not have to do this on our own. We are told in Psalms 37:24 that, “Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth [him with] his hand.” The devil can do his best to push, trip or throw us down. God is already there to keep us from hitting the ground. He also will be there to strengthen us and support us. We need to lean on Him and not ourselves (Proverbs 3:5-6). God is not going to let us drown. It is only when we take our focus off of Him we began to sink. If you fall, allow God to help pick you up, you are not alone in this.

God in His infinite and all knowing wisdom seen through eternities eyes our frailties. I stand amazed that He looks upon me and offers me daily mercies.
