Most of us will do anything we can to save a friend who is heading for trouble. However, taking no action at all may be the best thing we can do for a friend.
Consider these three ways to help :
Pray
Bring God in right from the start - not as the last resort. Who can handle it better than he can? Plus, praying for others brings grace to us and to those for whom we pray.
Set an example.
The best way to tell someone what to do is to do it ourselves. You can help others live a holier and happier life by showing them how. After all, your first task is to save your own soul.
Keep silent.
Learn to hold your tongue unless your duty obliges you to speak. Keeping silent prevents the flaring of tempers or the spreading of gossip. Also, it is in the silence of the soul that we hear God's voice, but we can't hear him if we're doing all the talking.
