“I can do all things in Christ, who strengthens me” (Philippians 4:13)

The phrase “God will never give me more than I can handle” has been distorted to mean “I am excused from certain struggles because I don't think I can handle them.” This is a perversion of truth. No, God will not give you more than you can handle, He will only give you what is already common to man's suffering. However, through his mercy and grace, and through our faith in His love and endurance, we can overcome any obstacle.


When the world comes crashing in
And chaos rules my mind,
I turn my heart to you, Lord,
And pure, sweet peace I find.


You lift me out of trouble
You comfort me in pain;
You nourish, heal and cleanse me,
Like cool, refreshing rain.


In times of joy and bliss,
When things are going right,
You lift me even higher,
And fill me with delight.


You listen to my prayers;
You hear my every plea;
I’m safe because I know
You’re always there for me.



Remember, it is when you feel the most lost and alone, that God is carrying you through the pain.
