It means that you shouldn't ask that life be easier; you should instead ask that you be strong enough to bear the burdens and challenges it throws at you.

Don't ask for a light load, but rather ask for a strong back...By having a "strong back" you better yourself, work harder, and earn what you get. Without challenges in life we'd never learn anything from mistakes and experiences. And to overcome challenges is a great honor, gains you dignity and experience. The quote is really a lot of figuritve language that you have to look deeply into, which I don't have time to do right now. So there. I'll ask for a stong back another day....

if you only look to do the easiest of things, you will never be prepared to handle the most difficult of challenges when you get them-----and we all do-------what you want is not to avoid the challenges that come your way which may be somewhat difficult, but accept them and strengthen your ability to tackle them, and as result, make you able to carry the load of those difficulties that are the most challenging when they come along in your life.

When you look back on the accomplishments of your life, you'd rather say that you handled the toughest things thrown at you rather than you never did anything hard. Remember, it's not what we fail at that we regret, it's what we never tried.

I think that it is along the same lines as God not giving you more than you can handle. If you have faith in him, he will give you the strength to handle anything that comes your way, no matter how difficult it may seem.

It means don't ask for something simple and easy that you can never grow or benefit from, but rather ask to become stronger so that you can endure better.

It means don't ask for things to be easier, just ask for the strength to accomplish the difficult things
