2156) There are times when I see or know someone who is in a difficult place. I find myself wishing I could make it better, but I can’t.  

There is something I can do, and it is found in 1 Thessalonians 5:1. Here, this verse simply says we can encourage and build one another up.  

This encouragement can be through prayer, a nice note, a listening ear, and more.  

It seems to be more useful to focus on what we can do for others rather than on what we can’t.
