Whether we pray directly with someone or let them know we are praying for them - this is by far kinder and safer than anything that sounds like "I know how you feel" (I don't think we can know how anyone feels). We might say "I went through something similar once. Let me know if you want to talk about it."<br /><br />When we pray, we should focus on prayers of intercession. Don't presume to know the answer, but trust God to provide what is needed. It is possible to sound vague but be supportive. I'm practicing what I'm preaching and working to be effective with this approach. I've been hurt and done my share of hurting, so I'm motivated to work on this in myself! <br /><br />Blessings!you gotta wonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17185948145655907204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-4965240622057026252009-06-07T21:58:00.436-05:002009-06-07T21:58:00.436-05:00Hi,I believe we are to speak God's words of en...Hi,I believe we are to speak God's words of encouragment to hurting people for we are to build up one another,to edify and give hope.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3027179631891898735.post-17880777322524036452009-06-07T14:36:07.370-05:002009-06-07T14:36:07.370-05:00Thanks Melanie for your words today...
