Not able to verify using CNAME or TXT using GoDaddy

I am using godaddy and bought the domain "faithfilesforteens.org". I have followed the steps on the webmaster central trying to verify my domain using the cname and the txt records. Everytime I put in the cname label and destination, it never works and always says It can't be verified. I have attached some photos to show the problem.

Hi,
 
I can see that on your DNS just fine at this point in time.  I looks correct, see this link.... 
How long ago did you set this up?  Note that it can take several hours for a new DNS entry to properly propagate all around the internet, so perhaps just needs a bit more time.

One note is that I do not see a TXT record on the root domain as can be seen on that link above.

I tried it now after about 14 hours and it still is not recognizing it.

Hi,

I see the DNS TXT Record now.  Looks like you are trying to verify with the "www" variant and the console seems to prefer verifying the root domain of http://yourdomainname.org/ first.  Try adding the root domain and verifying it.  It should be the same verification code, but if not, add another TXT record that the console suggests.  If that doesn't work, we can try adding/verifying via the Domain Property option.

Note that the attempt to verify the "www" variant may not work out at all since there is no "A" record for your www subdomain in the DNS settings.

Just curious, are you trying to set the domain to a google sites or blogspot?
