"Even when you fail, you can choose not to give up, but rather discover your courage, press forward, and rise up. ...God knows that you are not perfect, that you will fail at times. God loves you no less when you struggle than when you triumph." - Dieter F. Uchtdorf
I am grateful for the reminders I've been getting that God is forgiving. He knows that we're not perfect, and He knows that the world we live in isn't perfect, either. There are many opportunities to make mistakes and bad choices, and we sometimes fall into those traps. The plan accounts for that. In fact, making mistakes, and learning from them is, arguably, part of the plan. We're here to learn, and some lessons can only be learned the hard way.
It's okay to struggle. It's okay to fail sometimes. God doesn't love us any less for being human, and neither should we. God loves us infinitely, regardless of our imperfections. We should never let our imperfections discourage us into giving up.
So, if and when we fail, we need to trust in God's love and in the power of the Atonement, forgive ourselves, and keep trying.
