-what to do when you make a mistake?

-what to do when you make a mistake?
Repent before God and the offended party. If they don’t receive you apology, it’s too bad. Find the cause of your mistake. Is it lack of wisdom, anointing, lack of devotional time with God? Ask God to give you the thing lacking. Spend time acquiring it: wisdom comes from searching for knowledge and applying it. Anointing comes from prayer time and obedience to God. Don’t think that problems get resolved by themselves or that wisdom comes by osmosis. People try to condemn you? Explain to them that you stand or fall before God, not them. You know that you can act like this whole thing never happened. Try to recover the situation. Take responsibility for what you need to take responsibility for.
Share how you were able to overcome your mistakes.

there are a number of things when i make a mistake i might do.

if it involves school work, and correcting it wil in no way benifit me, i ignore it.

if i confuse someones name, or a meeting time or something, I apologize.

If it is something that leads me down a bad path (like for instance, making a wrong turn) i try to figure out where i went wrong, and get back going the right way.

Kalashnikova,
Thank you for your fantastic post and this great topic! I agree with both you and Merry.

When I make a mistake, I usually try to make it right regardless of what I've done wrong. In that, I try to find out what God is trying to show me, and trust that whatever my mistake, I will hold fast.
