Deuteronomy 1:29-46

Here you are as an Israelite about to experience the exodus from Egypt, millions of them leaving, each one having a personal relationship with Jehovah. And now, you (insert your own name) are one of them, for good or for bad, it's up to you (insert your own name).

29 “So I said to YOU (insert your own name),‘YOU (insert your own name),‘ must not suffer a shock or be afraid because of them.
30 Jehovah YOUR God is the one going before YOU (insert your own name),‘. He will fight for YOU (insert your own name),‘ according to all that he did with YOU (insert your own name),‘ in Egypt under YOUR own eyes,
31 and in the wilderness, where you (insert your own name),‘ saw how Jehovah your God carried you (insert your own name),‘ just as a man carries his son, in all the way that YOU walked until YOUR coming to this place.’
32 But despite this word YOU (insert your own name),‘ were not putting faith in Jehovah YOUR God,
33 who was going before YOU (insert your own name),‘ in the way to spy out for YOU (insert your own name),‘ a place for YOU (insert your own name),‘ to camp, by fire at night for YOU (insert your own name),‘ to see by what way YOU (insert your own name),‘ should walk and by a cloud in daytime.
34 “All the while Jehovah heard the voice of YOUR words. So he became indignant and swore, saying,
35 ‘Not one among these men of this evil generation will see the good land that I swore to give to YOUR fathers,
36 except Ca′leb the son of Je·phun′neh. He will see it, and to him and to his sons I shall give the land upon which he trod, by reason of the fact that he has followed Jehovah fully.
37 Even against me Jehovah got incensed on YOUR account, saying, ‘You (insert your own name),
38 Joshua the son of Nun, who is standing before you (insert your own name), is the one who will go in there.’ Him he has made strong, because he will cause Israel to inherit it.
39 As for YOUR little ones of whom YOU (insert your own name) said: “Plunder they will become!” and YOUR sons who today do not know good or bad, these will go in there, and to them I shall give it, and they will take possession of it.
40 As for YOU (insert your own name) yourselves, change your direction and pull away for the wilderness by the way of the Red Sea.’
41 “At this YOU (insert your own name) answered and said to me, ‘We have sinned against Jehovah. We—we shall go up and fight in accord with all that Jehovah our God has commanded us!’ So YOU (insert your own name) girded on, each one, his weapons of war and regarded it as easy to go up into the mountain.
42 But Jehovah said to me (insert your own name), ‘Say to them: “YOU must not go up and fight, because I am not in YOUR midst; that YOU (insert your own name) may not be defeated before YOUR enemies.”’
43 So I spoke to YOU (insert your own name), and YOU (insert your own name) did not listen but began to behave rebelliously against Jehovah’s order and to get all heated up, and you (insert your own name) tried to go up into the mountain.
44 Then the Am′or·ites who were dwelling in that mountain came out to meet YOU (insert your own name) and went chasing YOU (insert your own name), just as bees do, and scattering YOU (insert your own name) in Se′ir as far as Hor′mah.
45 After that YOU (insert your own name) returned and began to weep before Jehovah, but Jehovah did not listen to YOUR voice, neither did he give ear to YOU (insert your own name).
46 So YOU (insert your own name) kept dwelling in Ka′desh many days, as many days as YOU (insert your own name) did dwell there.

In this scenario, you (insert your own name) did not fare well. You (insert your own name) can learn from these mistakes made to make improvements in your relationship with Jehovah in the many upcoming decisions you (insert your own name) will make in the future. You (insert your own name) remain in a personal relationship with Jehovah and he views you (insert your own name) as a person, an individual, with a name, a personality, knowing your personal likes and dislikes, and not as a group or as an insignificant member of a great crowd of un-named worshipers. Jehovah has personal affection for you (insert your own name).
