The following hymn has never failed to encourage me. God’s mercies are new every morning. We are very tempted to just give up each time we failed. However, God often uses our failure to make us wiser
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases
His mercies never come to an end
They are new every morning
New every morning.
Great is Thy faithfuess, O Lord. (x2) Great is Thy faithfulness
Instead of dwelling on our failures, mistakes, we can learn to bring them to Him and ask Him to give us strength and wisdom, and thus like Paul, we can boldly say: When I am weak, then am I strong. 2 Corinthians 12:10b.
Just simply get up from where we fall and walk in the newness of life for God is always a God of new beginnings - His mercies are new every morning. Our Christian life is also a series of new beginnings, of falling down and getting up again. Instead of focusing on ourselves, we can refocus on Him. His strength is made perfect in our weakness. His grace is manifested and magnified in all our trials, afflictions and weaknesses.
For me, I realized that failures help to keep me humble and prevent me from being lifted up above measure. Sometimes, God allows them to protect me. We can be a conqueror through Christ who empowers us. Praise God!

Yes, we are not quitters for He has already given us the victory!
