How many times ?
"If at first you don't succeed, try, try, and try again."
"Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but Until seventy times seven."
In a couple of instances, we are told that Paul was prevented from acting as he had planned. The Holy Spirit prevented him from preaching in Asia, and also stopped him going to Rome. But he doesn't say how many times that he had tried and in what ways.
Having believed that the Holy Spirit prevented me from editing a submission to a Wiki, after three attempts in different ways, do I try to think why ?
Do I carry on trying in yet another way, or do I humbly wait to get leading in some other way, later, in God's good time ?
