How To Encourage Someone Who Is Struggling

Helpful encouragement listens carefully and responds to the person’s real need.

Teaching

People who are struggling do not always need quick advice. Sometimes they need someone to listen without interrupting or minimizing what they feel.

Ask good questions and avoid promises you cannot make. Share Scripture with care, pray specifically, and offer practical help when appropriate.

Put It Into Practice

Contact someone who may be carrying a heavy burden. Ask how they are doing, listen fully, and respond to what they actually tell you.

Takeaway

Helpful encouragement begins with listening. Respond to the person’s real need instead of offering a quick answer.
