I know He gives us tests of faith, and He doesn't give us more than we can handle, but I've had so much, I'm about to have a nervous breakdown, I just can't handle any more. Can someone please give me words of comfort? THANK YOU

Do not look upon God or Jesus as a luck charm because that is not how it works.
God Judges you by your works and your thoughts of what you do for him and what you do for others and what you do for his animals and all of his creatues on earth.
To know God you must know Mother Earth and every living creature that roams in your attics and your yard. Spiders, Butterflys, Ants, Beetles...ect
When you can identify yourself with these creatures and know that they mean no harm, but follow a circle chain of life and that is why God put them here on earth you will prosper.
I will say this again. I ORDER to know God you should know his works and it is all around you.
I do not treasure things of this world. I have given away 14 kt Gold Necklaces to certain people. I have bought groceries for family's less fortunate.
Everything I do I expect nothing from God. I do it from my heart because I am a giver and people take advantage of my kindness, but what they don't know is that God loves me for who I am and he loves you for who you are.
So when you have a chance to talk with God in your own time or anytime of the day, he knows when your thinking about him and the Angels sing in Heavenly praise.
Your thoughts about God and Jesus should be always on your mind. Walk with him not beside him.
When you have learned to understand God then you will understand yourself and what you should do for him.
He will bless you a 100 fold. I have been blessed so many times that I can't count them. You don't have to be a preacher of God. I am telling you this because you asked for some good help.
Today is your lucky day.
Do you trust him?????
If you do then don't worry, because he is the one telling me to type this to you:)
Have a Nice Day
God Blesses You

Wow, you have lots of answers, but I don't know if any help, so I'm tossing mine in.
Sometimes we assume that these are tests of our faith, however, the Lord doesn't pummel us with stuff. Usually there is another culprit. Take time to see if you have moved in a direction that was not what God wanted for you. What I tend to do is find a quiet place and focus on Him and begin peeling away all the "stuff" and ask where did I depart from "peace", because He is always in "peace". Then everything outside of there, you probably should eliminate until a better time.
He really doesn't give us more than we can handle, but because of our need to please or to succeed, we take on more in the flesh than designed for us at the time. Remember too, to resist the devil and he will flee

Do you TRULY believe that God will be with through everything? Do you TRULY believe that He has your best interest in mind? Do you TRULY believe that He knows more about you, your situation and the future than you do?
I ask these questions not out of rudeness but I think they are important to get a real grasp on our faith in our God. It is only through our trials that we find out how big our faith real goes. Finally, two things..... First, I will pray for you and and that God might grant you the strength and courage to face whatever is before you. Second, something that has helped me in times like these is to read the book of Job. No matter how difficult my situation was, it never compared to that.
I hope this helps. Feel free to keep me posted. If I can help in any way, let me know.

If you find yourself stressing out to a point of a breakdown, then you are not doing it right.
I find that when I focus on the problems that I myslef face, I feel worse. I try to take care of what I can do, and then let the rest go to God. And I have to reapply that method as many times as it takes in order for me to really live in the method.
So I am understanding by what you said that you have not done that. You are still trying to clutch onto the parts you have no control over. perhaps a true friend of your would tell you to " KNOCK IT OFF! "
Trust God with the parts you cannot control.

dear sister in Christ, I am praying for you. I can understand your pain. I have gone through quite a lot in just a few years. I have been evacuating from two countries 3 times, I now have a mother countries away from me trying to be rid of cancer. Life is full of pain...but I have gone through it all, but only b/c of the grace of God. He has given me his strength to go through any difficulty. He uses pain and troubles to bring us closer to him. Here is a poem I wrote kinda about this...I hope God will use it for his glory...
*Rose From a Thorn*
Many hardships and sufferings occur
Everything beautiful is just a big blurr
Pain pierces from a sharp cutting thorn
And All you can do is cry and mourn
Trials devour you, and there is no end
You feel like you have not a friend
All you can think about is searing pain
Forgetting God's powerful healing name
God watches you go through severity
He wants us to see his blessings with clarity
Call to him and he will make a way
Through the pitch black darkness of today
Out of the thorn will bloom a red rose
All of its wonderous beauty will be exposed
Maturity and love will blossom and grow
God's perfect will and purpose you'll know
What is a beautiful rose without a thorn?
For it makes the rose's beauty reborn
What is a life without trials to endure?
It will create a thankful heart so pure
I love you and God love you so much too!!!!!

There is a force building up in the Earth called the Fear. All of humanity's negative energies being drawn there by the magnetic center.
Read Isaiah 24:18 KJV only. Note how it is worded.
We need to do spiritual exercises to block out this negative energy. Or we will be irritable and hateful like the rest of the people in the World.
Just imagine a White Light of protection around you, and speak out loud, using the Spoken Word. And ask God to guide and protect you.

Since you give no details about the kinds of burden you face, my help will necessarily have to be equally vague, but here goes.
1. Go quietly to a private area. Ask God in the silence of your heart for His help in dealing with one of your problems and for the strength with which to cope.
2. Sit quietly and concentrate on that problem. Look at it from every angle you can think of. Now separate it into component parts. Ask for a solution to each component part. Put them together. You should have a practical and workable solution to that problem. Put it into effect.
3. Repeat 1 & 2 for the next problem.
4. and so on.
I will pray for you. May God, with love and perseverance, get all your problems solved with your material assistance. And may you never think you are so lost that God cannot find you, help you and hold you close to His Sacred Heart.

He wouldn't have given you more than you can handle if he didn't think you were strong enough. Any other person may give up easily. Hang in there and remember that things happen for a reason, though the reason may not be clear for some time.

Take a warm washrag and put it on your face for a few minutes...that should help you to relax a bit...
Listen to some soft music....Christian or classical or even just instrumental.

Hi Ashley,
You've got a big response - so I'll keep this one short :)
You know the scriptures, but I wonder what you consider to be 'faith'? Perhaps it will help to get a view of your trials from Heaven's perspective. I don't mean be super spiritual here, just try not to look at what is happening in the context of the world. Instead, try looking at your trials from the point-of-view of heaven.
The faith heros of Hebrews 11 were able to look at their circumstances from the perspective of heaven.
I hope this helps you Ashley :)
