Encouragement is words and deeds designed to influence and strengthen another to keep pursuing God's will for their lives. In Ephesians 4:9 we see that encouraging words are spoken for the good of another and directed to the need of the moment. We are able to speak for their good only because Christ has lived a life for our good. We can discern the need of the moment with prayer and learning to listen.
