Have you ever experienced feeling judged and unsupported, regardless of where you or others were in your journey with the Lord? It's easy to pass judgment, but it becomes challenging when we have not walked in the other person's shoes.

When someone reaches out for help or prayer, especially with struggles they have dealt with for years, like reading comprehension - it's easy for them to feel misunderstood. Well-intentioned comments like "You should read your Bible more" may not offer the support they need. In these moments, offering unsolicited advice does not help. What's needed is empathy and understanding, not just advice.

The Bible can be challenging for many - its complex language, unclear metaphors, or deeper meanings can be hard to grasp. These struggles often go unnoticed. Whether it's difficulty with Scripture, personal battles, or emotional struggles, everyone faces challenges that are not always visible.

It is not always about providing answers but offering kindness and encouragement.

The next time you encounter someone struggling, remember that empathy and understanding go much further than surface-level solutions.

We all have struggles, and offering genuine support can make all the difference.
