I've heard, as I expect most people in the U.S. have, someone in life or on TV or somewhere state that "God will never give me more than I can handle." Or perhaps the opposite view's equivalent statement, "God can't be real, because if He was He wouldn't give us more than we can handle."
This seems to me to be an amazingly confused issue.
God doesn't ask us to handle anything on our own. He tells us to go to Him for strength in all things, to turn to Him in prayer and trust Him to work things out. So. How does this apply?
God does give us things we can't handle. But He gives us nothing that He can't handle. And says, "Trust Me on this."
