Sometimes the best help is steady presence.
Not fixing.
Not lecturing.
Listening, praying, and pointing people to Christ.
Start with listening
Be quick to hear and slow to speak.
Ask good questions before giving advice.
Scripture: James 1:19
Encourage what is true
Remind people of what God has done and what he has promised.
Scripture: 1 Thessalonians 5:11
Point to Scripture
Do not rely only on opinions, even good ones.
Help people open the Bible and see it for themselves.
Scripture: Acts 17:11
Pray with them
Keep it simple and sincere.
Scripture: Philippians 4:6
Help them take one next step
A small step is often better than a dramatic plan.
Scripture: Proverbs 3:5–6
Be careful with heavy matters
If someone is overwhelmed, stuck in sin, or in danger, do not carry it alone.
Encourage them to speak with a faithful pastor or mature leader in their local church.
Scripture: Galatians 6:1–2
What to avoid
