When all else fails

When all else fails

Don’t be discouraged if things don’t work out the first time around.

When all else fails is a season that means everything else has been tried and has failed, then one should try something else.

But there is usually an Agitation of the mind on what to do during this season when everything else fails.

There are many things you can try. Here are some suggestions:

1. Take a break: Sometimes, taking a break from the problem can help you come back with a fresh perspective and new ideas.
2. Ask for help: Don’t be afraid to ask for help from friends, family, or professionals. They may have insights or solutions that you haven’t considered.
3. Re-evaluate your approach: Take a step back and re-evaluate your approach to the problem. Is there something you’re missing? Is there a different way to approach the problem?
4. Learn from your mistakes: Failure is an opportunity to learn and grow. Take some time to reflect on what went wrong and what you can do differently next time.
5. Try something new: Sometimes, trying something completely different can help you break through a problem.

Remember that failure is a natural part of the learning process. Don’t be discouraged if things don’t work out the first time around. Keep trying and don’t give up!

And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil.”
3. Psalm 23: This psalm is often recited during times of grief or loss. It goes like this: “The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”
