Something I learned today is through this bloggers testimony of Jesus Christ and his atonement.
I have heard many phases as well like "God won't give us more than what we can bear." It made me feel comforted for a while, but it never gave me a way to run to Heavenly Father for help. It made me feel ok with the things that were happening to me and it almost made me feel like I can handle it all on my own, but this is not what scriptures teach. The phrase is not what it seems--some trials are way too much than what we can bear and the only way to find relieve is to RUN to Jesus Christ for help. It's a way to trust Him that He is there and will help us if we are willing to give our burden to Him. What an eye opener.
