Listening And Praying Is More Important Than Being A Solution To Their Problems
Listening And Praying Is More Important Than Being A Solution To Their Problems
Many times people come to us with very difficult and hurtful situations in their lives. If you have no clue as to what they are going through, that is ok. They come to you because they want someone just to listen and pray for them. Sometimes that is all we can do.
Saying to someone "I know what you are going through", or "I feel for you" does not do any good when you have never been through their situation yourself, that is very ineffective. Never tell someone that God will work out their bad situations for good without sharing a testimony of a situation you faced.
You can share some bad things you have gone through and give a testimony of how God got you through it or how God worked out even the worst things in your life for the overall good. I have shared my testimony many times on my pages and groups. I have also shared that to people who are going through difficult times. This would be an indirect way and effective way of telling them that God will get them through it.
If you don't have a clue on how to solve their problems, don't try to drum up solutions that most of the time does not work. It is more important just to listen to them, love them, and pray for them. Listening, loving and praying means the most to them.
