Avoid talking about people when they’re down. Whether you understand
why they’re struggling or not isn’t any of your business. If you’re
really concerned you’ll pray for them. Sometimes we can get too caught
up in discussing the details of someones life and struggle when we have
no idea how hard it was for them to simply wake up and get out of bed
that morning. Our lack of understanding or reasoning with others
struggles, leaves us less than compassionate and borderline cruel with
our thoughts and comments of them. Let’s challenge ourselves to push
past our limited understanding and perception of things to support them
in prayer. Ask God how you can benefit someone who you think may be
going through a hard time. Whatever you do, just avoid adding to their
pain with hurtful words. Many of us have been misunderstood in the past
and as long as others continue to misunderstand us, their words seemed
hurtful.
Keep in mind: If you have time to talk about them then you have time to pray for them. Make your words worth being spoken.
