I've been thinking this same thing for months! I have seen my friends post this to Facebook time and time again. But, I'm not sure that I agree with "God will never put more on us than we can bear with His help" either. That's still a little too much dependent upon "us." I believe that God will never put more on us (trials) than He can bear. We must rely solely on Him.

Thanks for this post. I myself wondered where exactly in the Bible does it say God will never put more on you than you can bare? So many people are being deceived by that myth. I use to quote it myself.

I think, too, Ron, that He gives us more than we can handle because he wants to get our attention in other areas where we are headed for disaster. For some of us, it was a time of conviction that lead to being born again. After being brought into that state of being, He sometimes uses it to grow us up.

Thanks Sam. I don't understand how your comments disagree with mine. I'm not arguing that we don't battle our carnal mind over fear, temptation, or any of the issues that get in the way of fully trusting Christ. What I am saying is that God hasn't chosen to rid us completely of these temptations. He has promised that no trial will overcome our carnal mind. There will be times when fear overcomes us and we "feel" helpless; like we have more on us than we can bear. When those times come, what He has promised is that we can stand up to temptation; that there is more power in Christ than the sin in our flesh. We have the answer. His name is Jesus.

Interesting comment however, there are those who would disagree with you considering that fear and anxiety have been programmed into our subconscious to think they are hopeless. It is the carnal mind that needs to be overcome because this is where the battle is taking place hindering the possibility ofr faith to mature. So there is a great temptation to fear but with the lack of the understanding of scripture Christians continue to be in bondage to fear wondering why God would allow them to go through what they are going through when this responsibility solely falls on themselves. Christians beat themselves up to much and then give credit to Satan.

I found this article at a time I didn't think I could handle all that was on my plate. With several of my families medical issues, (parents, mother-in-law, some of my own medical issues, and a death in the family. Not to mention my job… which all together seemed to be causing me other issues.. all of this in the summer of 2011.. After reading this article, I had such a moment of calm. Haven't had that feeling in what seems like a long time ago… Thank you Ron Edmondson…. for helping in leading me back… God Bless You..
