Helplessness and Comfort


(photo from google)
How can I provide comfort to a hurting brother or sister when my sympathetic words or deeds merely aggravate their wounds? 
How can I persuade them to take heart in the promise of God in Romans 8:28 when tragic circumstances escalate? 
How can I turn myself into a pillar of strength for those who turn to me for comfort when I am also wounded and bruised? 

The answer to these is that I can't. I just can't. 

I can only tell them and myself to turn to the real "Parakletos"- the Holy Spirit.
