How do I help someone who is stubborn?
Proverbs 29:23
23 Humiliation followeth the proud: and glory shall uphold the humble of spirit.
James 1:19-20
19 You know, my dearest brethren. And let every man be swift to hear, but slow to speak, and slow to anger. 20 For the anger of man worketh not the justice of God.
Galatians 6:1-2
1 Brethren, and if a man be overtaken in any fault, you, who are spiritual, instruct such a one in the spirit of meekness, considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 2 Bear ye one another’s burdens; and so you shall fulfill the law of Christ.
Catholic view (generated):
Pray for patience and understanding, and approach the situation with empathy and gentleness. Seek to listen actively and validate their feelings, offering guidance and support rather than imposing your own views. Encourage open dialogue and be willing to find common ground for productive conversations.
