Many times it is better for us to remain quiet than to try to give an answer if we do not really have one. The Bible tells us that we should weep with those who weep – not try to give them an answer if we do not know the answer. If we stay quiet and keep our mouths shut we can be a great help simply by listening and being present. If people desire to be counselled let them go to the people who are trained to do it please.
