Are you one that makes mistakes? Go to Jesus, and ask Him to forgive you, and then believe that He does. "If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness" (1 John 1:9). Ask the Lord to pardon your errors. Then rejoice in him.
It will not help you in the least to keep mourning over your defects, say, "Lord, I cast my helpless soul on thee, and Thee alone. I will not worry, because Thou hast said, 'Ask, and ye shall receive.' "
Believe that you do receive. Believe that your Saviour is full of compassion, full of tender pity and love. Let not little mishaps trouble you. Small mistakes may be ordered by the Lord to save from making larger mistakes.
Believe that Christ is your only helper, refuse to speak a word of unbelief. When the enemy tells you that the Lord has forsaken you, tell him that you know He has not, for He declares, "I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance" (Matt. 9:13)
Instead of bemoaning your weakness, and talking unbelief, and feeling that you are hardly used, begin to sing. Talk of the mercy and love of God. To all who labour and are heavy laden, Christ gives the invitation. "Come unto me,....and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light" (Matt. 11:28-30).
This is the lesson that Christ desires you to learn, and in learning it you will find rest.

NO WEAPON SHALL PROSPER
No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, does this means that you will never get hit by the weapon which is hurled at you, I think not, does it mean that every thing that you do will have no hindrances and obstacles I think not, does it mean that there will be always joy, I think not.
No weapon that is formed against you shall prosper, means that no matter what hurdle may come your way the saviour of the world Jesus will stand with you so that the weapon will not wound you so badly that you die and the enemy triumph over you.
Prosper means to gain a profit, and to be effective wherewith the weapon was sent, the weapon may hit you but it will not prosper to bring you down.
So when your weapons may come against you do not despair but but hold fast the faith God is able and will do abundantly, exceedingly more than is expected of him for us mere mortals, so look up and rejoice for the weapon will never prosper, the weapons of despair, frustration, unemployment, family problems, what ever the weapon may be trust God He will bring us all through.
