Listen first
Ask what the person needs before sending advice.
Share short messages, prayers, and Bible references that respect the other person’s situation instead of minimizing pain or making exaggerated promises.
Ask what the person needs before sending advice.
Offer hope without pretending every problem is simple.
Never turn someone else’s pain into content.
Consider the person, their privacy, and the seriousness of their situation. Sometimes the most faithful message is simply: “I am here to listen.”
