“Brethren, if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself lest you also be tempted. ”

Galatians 6:1 NKJV

In retirement, I volunteer for our church’s Benevolence program, which we help people struggling to pay their bills. Financial burdens can often put a strain on a couple's marriage. Sadly I see this far too often in the calls for help. 

As Christians, we need to always maintain a sense of awareness for people and couples who battle temptations and marital strife. When noticed, it's best to offer prayer, even spiritual advice to help them work through whatever challenges they face. People need encouragement and direction in times of difficulty. Your willingness to step forward to provide help, advice, and prayer might be the very glue that sustains them. 

Many remain silent, not knowing what to say. I encourage you to put aside your fears, God will give you the words to say in the moment of helping your fellow brother and sister  in Christ. 

Look around. Who needs your prayers, council, and practical wisdom to carry them through the difficulty? Open your heart to those in need.
