In every situation there is a helpful Bible verse.
A particular Bible verse may not be helpful in every situation.

In your own situations where you need help, don’t feel constrained to cram answers or solutions into your problem when they don’t fit (just because the person offering them seems to know a lot and be ahead of you in their walk of faith).
Likewise, when you are trying to help someone in need, don’t rush to share the first verse or insight that comes to your mind.
It is not likely that you will miss an opportunity if you don’t say it real quick.

For any help to be helpful, advice and Bible verses and physical actions must convey “bearing each other’s burdens, and so [that is how we are] fulfilling the law of Christ”.
Both the helper and the one in need of help should sense this—caring and bearing—and then, advising and quoting.
