Don’t you worry—God won’t give you more than you can handle.
Has anyone ever said this to you before? That God won’t give you more than you can handle? The phrase sounds nice, and the people who say it are usually well-meaning. But it’s really not all that helpful. We all go through seasons of life where we certainly feel like we’ve been given more than we can handle. Whether we’re living paycheck to paycheck and struggling to find work or our spouse or child is dealing with a troubling diagnosis, it can sometimes seem like God is not holding up His end of the bargain.
Is it true what these well-meaning believers say? Will God never give us more than we can handle?
