No prayer is ever wasted.
No good deed is ever done
in vain. When you feel ready
to give up, try the following 12
suggestions. All of these things,
help, not only you, but the entire world,
and not just this world, but all of the worlds:
1. Strengthen your relationships - with your
Creator, your family, your friends, your spiritual
advisor. If you have unfinished business with your
parents, make every effort to resolve any issues that
might be keeping you from expressing wholehearted
love for them. Even if you feel there is no way they can
give you what you need, make every effort to forgive
them and love them anyway. This one change in
yourself can have profound effects on all of your
relationships.

I will lift my eyes to the mountains:
from where will my help come?
My help comes from G-d,
Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip,
He will not slumber - your Guardian.
Behold He does not slumber
nor does He sleep - the Guardian of Israel!

G-d is your shelter at your right hand.
By day the sun will not smite you,
nor the moon at night.
G-d will guard you from all evil;
He will preserve your soul.
G-d will guard your going and coming.
