WHEN THE WOES MOUNT & THERE'S NO WAY OUT, REMEMBER THIS - THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY OUT!!

WHEN THE WOES MOUNT & THERE'S NO WAY OUT, REMEMBER THIS - THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY!!

There is absolutely nothing new under the sun! Yes nothing at all! One may pause and say really? did your forefathers use nano technology or ever sit in a driverless car? Well they didn't BUT
they had their own go at innovation and technological advancement from the stone age, iron age right up to this digital and information age, yet as much as all this may be several centuries apart there is a common denominator - we all have used matter and substance to create what we need and how sophisticated what we have created is relative. So it has always been matter and substance so yes nothing is new under the sun!

We have used material analogy above to qualify our statement that nothing is new and the same holds true for life situations good and bad
no matter how extreme. So one may find themselves in a fix looking  around and see no solution in sight or way out of the difficult and impossible situation but the truth is THERE IS ALWAYS A WAY!

No matter how bad and hopeless the situation may seem and you feel helpless, pause for a moment and remember these words - there is nothing new under the sun! Somebody, somewhere has experienced a similar situation or worse but they came out alive and lived to tell the tale, if you shut down the pity party and dig a little deeper inside yourself conjuring up the barest minimum of faith you will find strength to reach out and share your story looking for solutions not pity, pray with gratitude that you still have precious life in you no matter how miserable it is, nobody can buy life it is a gift even the richest folks can't, so if you have life you have a reason to live and solutions can be found. Reach out and ask for help ask ask ask, some may shun you, shrug you off and totally ignore but ask still because only one one person is needed to point you in the right direction, until you find that person keep asking, once you find the tiniest amount of help, that glimmer of hope hold on and build on it eventually everything will fall into place piece by piece like a jig-saw puzzle.

People have survived through horrifying circumstances in this life among them concentration and death camps, dark unlit cells where the person is supposed to be broken not only physically but crushing the soul and spirit. Yet they survive, how so? It is their unwavering faith and trust  in the giver of life that as long as there is breath in them and life is sustained there is reason to hope and believe for a brighter day no matter how dark prevailing circumstances may be.

There are people and places among us whose work obligates them to help and answer questions  without fear or favour, these are police officers  and their places of work as well as health professionals and practitioners in public institutions. There is no charge for presenting your case to them, it is a starting point to a solution they certainly will have something to do or at least say or make a reference guiding you closer to the solution.
Besides the obligated ones there are volunteers out there to help people, build them up and restore hope and dignity. These are the religious people, priest, nuns, pastors, deacons, lay volunteers and care givers of various kinds, most are institutionalised and some are individual and independent but they all from the goodness of their hearts want to help and uplift people and assist with finding solutions to life's most difficult challenges.

So when the woes do mount and the walls close in with the wolves baying for your blood take heart and acknowledge the situation yet reminding yourself that there is always a way, find a shoulder to lean on or a pillar to hold on to, walk into a church, hospital, police station there will always be someone to talk to. In not-so-worse circumstances reach out to a  friend, relative or elder in your community with whom you can sit and speak in confidence. Because of drawn out struggles with difficulties our vision may be blurred and our minds fail to think straight hence the need to reach out and allow ourselves to be helped and get fresh help with clearer vision and sharper mind.

There is always a way, Jesus says in Matthew 11:28-30 KJV
[28] Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. [29] Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. [30] For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
He also says in Hebrews 13:5 KJV; I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.

Out of frustration one may ask but where is He? Well He is everywhere and He works through people all the time, people such as all those mentioned above.

So it is true, there is no new problem or life challenge peculiar to one individual under the sun for humanity and it is also true that there is always a way - reach out and overcome whatever you may go through!
