If God doesn't give you any more than you can handle?

Question

then I can assume that I can handle what I'm dealing with, right? Going under that assumption, I can put my mind at ease, knowing that I can/will overcome my dilemma. Right?

I didn't actually mean God "gave" me problems, I mean that problems happen.

Answer 1

Absolutely! Everybody has obstacles in life they have to overcome. God doesn't actually create them...but if they become too much, I believe He steps in once in awhile to help you through. He is always here for you and He will carry you when you can no longer walk. Trust in that.

Answer 2

Yes, you can as humans we feel the hole world is crashing down on us but we are alot stronger then we know. It also helps having a support group of friends, family or other people. I have gone though somethings that seemed hard to me but I look at other people and say oh wow how can you deal with that. Like losing a child. I went away from God for a while (my husband thinks aliens made us here for science not joking) and then our world came crashing down! We had a very comfortable life with him truck driving he lost his job the company fell apart we came to CA all family of mine here and kept on going down hill. In the end we were living up in the mountains with 4 kids and pregnat with #5 and trying to keep our kids from CPS so they won't take them away. We were living where ever we could put a tent up. It was so scary.

But the good thing is that my husband came to Christ and we are both into God again!!! After that everything seems to fall into place.

P.S. Dante it does say that!

Answer 3

Well God doesn't give you trouble. but he does not protect you from it either. He allows it to happen. And yes the bible says he will not allow you to be tested beyond what you can bear. So God believes in you. You can overcome whatever it is your facing with God's help. Do not try to face it on your own, ask for his holy spirit in prayer, read the bible and meditate on what your reading.. Things will get better :-)

Answer 4

Yes. You must know that no matter what happens--in suffering or in death that you have to stay eternally focused on the promise that God has a place for you in His Kingdom. Satan cannot have you though he will try to make you falter. He will ask God to let him make your life miserable, and at times it will be granted to Satan for your good and for God's Glory.

I am going through a VERY difficult marriage and in all the times that I want to end it, I remember that God HATES divorce and that I am going through this for me and for God. I know that no matter what, God will take care of me.

You need to study God's Word, understand that He is your rock, understand that He is in control of all situations affecting Christians (this means you) and that He will never make the burden more than you can bear. It may seem that way and it will be VERY uncomfortable at times, but you can do it through Christ. No matter how many tears you shed or how much you hurt, you will make it through this trial in your life.

Answer 5

Agree.
Agree.
Disagree. Just because you face a problem, does not mean that you will make the correct choice to solve it presently.
Example; class teacher gives a test (for which every question has been answered. It does not mean efery student will give the correct answer to the question.

Answer 6

I don't know of scripture that says that...that is just a phrase of people. If you want a scriptural answer...I'd have to say, God isn't handing you anything.

According to Job 1 and 2. Job was given very difficult things to handle, loss of his kids, loss of his wealth, then physically he was given a skin disease.

God allowed that to happen. It was a test by Satan to see if Job would curse God. He didn't curse and later he was given many blessings.

So in our case today, things that we are dealing with are not necessarily God's test....but truly Satan's. The way God makes it easier to handle problems is by giving us tools to deal with them.

Answer 7

I guess that would depend on if you are trying to handle it on your own or are you turning it over to God do help you through it.

Matthew 19:26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Things only seem impossibe if you are attempting them alone and without the help of God. But you first must do this...

Romans 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

Why?

Psalms 34:15 The eyes of the LORD are upon the righteous, and his ears are open unto their cry.

Job 27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

Proverbs 15:29 The LORD is far from the wicked: but he heareth the prayer of the righteous.

You can try it on your own and fail, or hand your life over to God and be victorious.

Answer 8

The previous responder was kind of right. It doesn't say that anywhere in the Bible, not in those words, anyway. But what he's not telling you is that it DOES say "With God all things are possible" and "Through Christ I can do all things". If you have a personal relationship with Jesus, then yes, through faith in him and through prayer, He will help you through everything.

Answer 9

That's the idea. It doesn't always put my mind completely at ease, but it gives me another reason to keep pushing through the bad times.

Answer 10

God will never give you more than you can deal with. You may need help, you may need to ask, you may need to submit.

There is power in prayer, and the prayer of agreement. Get with someone you trust, unload, and agree together that God will intervene in your situation.
