One way we "carry each other's burdens" is through prayer. If you have a friend who is struggling, praying for him/her is a great gift you can give.
Second, you need to get up and "go" to your friend. Physically, you need to help him/her carry their burden. Sometimes that means physically working alongside them. At other times that means helping financially as you are able. If your friend is starving, praying for him/her before you eat a large meal is ridiculous.
The point is, as you pray, GO and stand with your friend.
That's exactly what Jesus did.
