A good friend was frustrated by walking with someone spiritually through a difficult time. There were no changes, and whatever my friend tried to do, it either did not bear fruit, or the help was rejected. Many of us find ourselves in this position and ultimately abandon helping a person.

But being a spiritual helper requires a directive from God first to help this person. Then it requires an understanding and spiritual insight about what is currently needed in the person’s life. Help people where they are, not with what you want them to surrender.
