Burden

For no temptation (no trial regarded as enticing to sin), [no matter how it comes or where it leads] has overtaken you and laid hold on you that is not common to man [that is, no temptation or trial has come to you that is beyond human resistance and that is not adjusted and adapted and belonging to human experience, and such as man can bear]. But God is faithful [to His Word and to His compassionate nature], and He [can be trusted] not to let you be tempted and tried and assayed beyond your ability and strength of resistance and power to endure, but with the temptation He will [always] also provide the way out (the means of escape to a landing place), that you may be capable and strong and powerful to bear up under it patiently.
-1 Corinthians 10:13 (AMP)

Be encouraged, He will never lay too much upon you to where you would be unable to bear it. We all have our burdens, be thankful for the ones He has given you. Because indeed, He has provided. Everything comes from the hand of the Lord. He is good, through all trials.

Thank You, Father, for Your unending grace. Thank You for Your patience when dealing with us. Help us to learn to TRUST You, and know that You are bigger and better than all the circumstances around us. Give us Your peace, Your rest, and Your patience when dealing with situations around us. Give us Your perspective, God, Your insight, and Your wisdom. Reveal to us the nature of Your being, and help us to become more like You. Amen.
