When You’re Given More Than You Can Handle 

“The angel of the Lord came back a second time and touched him and said, “Get up and eat, for the journey is too much for you.” 1King 19:7 (NIV)

“God won’t give you more than you can handle,” was muttered to me as I poured out my heart to a friend. 

Struggle and suffering had taken me under, and I was beyond tired of running on empty. My praying and trying only led to more disappointment and heartache. Finally, at the end of most days, I collapsed into bed with nothing else to give. It seemed as if my life was out of control, and I wanted to scream, “Enough, Lord.”

Have you ever felt like this? Life feels like a series of one-hundred-mile days you’re trying to complete with a tank empty. We feel buried in frustration and defeat from the unanswered prayers and disappointments, causing weariness and exhaustion to plague us.
