5 Christian Phrases That Aren’t in the Bible

God Won’t Give You More Than You Can Handle

Our entire life is actually too much for us to handle. We learn through going through our lives and handling hardships that we cannot carry the burden of being in a fallen world alone. We have to come to Christ and surrender to Him to get through this life. Everything is more than we can handle, however nothing is more than Jesus can handle. Paul writes in 2 Corinthians 1:8-9 “We do not want you to be uninformed, brothers, about the hardships we suffered in the province of Asia. We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death.” These words of agonizing pain show us that even the disciples experienced periods of life that were beyond their ability to handle. If we choose to come to God, He will help get us through and give us rest (Matthew 11:28).
