Session 13

I will guide you through difficult circumstances

From Promises: A 30-Day Devotional

No temptation has overtaken you except what is common to mankind. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it. 

- 1 Corinthians 10:13

Ever heard the saying, “God won’t give you more than you can handle”? If you’ve been in a situation where someone told you this, you know it’s far from the truth. God never promises not to put more on us than we can handle; He promises to guide us through adversity.

One of the best things that can come out of an overwhelming situation is a deeper understanding of how much we need God’s help. Difficulty doesn’t have to drive us away from God. If we’ll lean into what God wants to show us, difficulty will drive us closer to God in ways good times can’t.

Reflect: 

• Do you feel overwhelmed with more than you can handle? What’s weighing you down?
• When are you most likely to question God’s guidance?
• What’s one step you can take to remember God’s presence in those moments?
