I wish I could say something

This post has been thought about for a while, and I was going to post it soon. Then today I saw a friend's blog and it just made me once again consider this: I am always there to tell a joke, and to try and listen, but I never have anything to say. I remember 7 months ago, I had a friend ( A part of C3) who was obviously hurting. I told him that I didn't have much to say, but if he needed to talk to someone, I would listen. I truly want to hear people's struggles and pray for them and give them advice when I can, but here's the problem and the main idea of this post which has been in my mind for a while: I am not good at giving advice. I would love to have the right thing to say to help people and let them know how much I care and that I am there for them if they need anything, but I just don't have the right words to say. I've had so many friends who helped me through tough situations. I just want to FOR ONCE be able to give some advice. I feel like my words are instead worthless and don't mean anything to anyone. It hurts inside, because I know how much THEY hurt inside, and I don't know how to help. IT leaves me speechless
