Move on with faith and trust that God will show the way forward. Do not mourn over spilled milk.
There are moments when you have to retreat in order to gain a more powerful force to move ahead. Being defeated in battle means that the Lord has something better in your life. Do not look or rest upon the battles that you may have lost but the victories of the Lord that you have won. You are a warrior who has completely fallen under the Lord's grace and mercy. He will soon crown you with even much more glory where you will reign like a king over a large empire that you will administer.
People say, "when you have money, you have power"; the truth is "when you have the Lord, you have the one true source of all wealth and power!" It is the Lord who fights your daily battles. You are not really defeated; He just wants you to move one step backwards so that you can accelerate and move a hundred steps forward.
You were a nobody and the Lord made you to be somebody. You see yourself as worthless and the Lord had put value to your life. You were not known but the Lord made you popular. Your life was once in total darkness and the Lord became your lamp lighting your path each day. You have nothing and the Lord opened the door for you to receive everything. Jesus Christ, your Lord and Savior has unselfishly given you all these and more. He is the love of your life, the essence of your being,
In your own standards, you do not consider yourself qualified but the Lord had enabled you to perform not based on your own accord but based on your obedience to do His will. You have received anointing from the Lord, and it was His Spirit that did the work. Be on your way, the Lord is sending you for He has chosen you. The Lord Himself will tell you what to do.
God leads the humble in what is right and teaches the humble his way (Ps 25:9). He makes known to you His ways, He teaches you His paths. The Lord leads you in His truth, and teaches you, for He is the the God of your salvation; the Lord you wait for all the day long (Ps 25:4-5).
