**God will give us more than we can handle—but not more than he can.**

This has been bouncing around in my head for the last few weeks.

I can’t handle anything, I must look to the cross, for only Jesus is sufficient. If “I can handle it” I don’t need God in any part of my life.

I can’t either....

It’s why I lean on Him for everything literally.

FWIW, when I encounter friends going through trials, I express to them that God never gives them more than they can handle IF they call on Him. God wants us to be dependent on Him for all things. He is, after all, the source of our life and the source of all things.

Going from, “I can do it” to “I need God’s help” is eye opening experience. I realize that God can make what seems impossible to possible. I just don’t know why I always fight God for control, as if I know better when I clearly don’t.
