One of the dominant misconceptions about the fear of failure is how we think God sees us. A helpful picture to redeem this misconception is a baby taking their very first steps. The baby has never walked before. They let go of one hand, then the other, take a step, and of course, they fall.
11 And they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they loved not their lives even unto death. Revelation 12:11: ESV
They were excited because of who God is, not because they had figured out what to do or what they had heard from the Lord.
37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.” Mathew 22:37-40 ESV

God actually trusts you, even when you do not trust yourself.

Your experiences do not have the capacity to fully capture who God is because they are limited and too small. Put your trust and faithfulness in the name of the Lord. Do not miss the joy of walking with God. Throw away the key to the box that tries to contain the mystery of God in your mind.
You do not need to figure out or control the mysteries of God. Simply enjoy His character and His name.

May we never lose the wonder. Bright and mystified.
