I know what you mean. There have been many times in my life when I told God that I just couldn't take any more. I am almost 64 years old now. About a year ago, God said to me ... "See, you lived through all of it. You WEREN'T given more than you could bear."

I saw the following quote the other day and saved it on my hard drive. Maybe it can help you.

Life isn't fair.
Sometimes things don't go the way you want them to.
A test of character is how you handle yourself in those situations.

Another similar statement by some well-known speaker (seems like it might have been Martin Luther King): Life comprises 10% experiences and 90% how we react to those experiences.
