Q&A - Does God only give us what we can handle?

A: From Peter: Mmm, this is a tough one. As a chaplain I've heard many people say something along the lines of, "Well, God never gives me more than I can handle, so I can't complain." Sometimes I almost hear the unspoken, question "...right?" at the end of their sentence.

Acting Acceptable

“If I put the effort in, I could be the way I’m supposed to be, and God might become pleased with me. But I don’t.” Feeling acceptable as a follower of Jesus always feels JUST out of reach.

Daily Bread: God knows what I need

So there I was lying in bed, about to cry and crying out to God to help me cut through the whirling chaos in my head. What he brought to my attention was how my son and I were in a similar place. It was humbling to identify with a fussy baby, but at the same time it allowed a little compassion and understanding to break through the chaos and frustration.

In the arms of the Father who needs no sleep

I groaned softly as I woke up to tend to my crying son. “Uggghhh, can’t you let your dad get any sleep!?” But as I rolled out of bed, I caught a glimpse of the alarm clock, it read 6:00am. Wait, that meant that Benjamin actually had let me get sleep, plenty of it in fact. And yet, there I sat, bleary-eyed, only wanting to konk out for another few hours of sleep.
