Well, the scriptures say that God won't make you run faster than you can stand. He won't test you more than you can stand.

Shoot, I think I'm in the worst case possible, right? I can't talk to my wife, I only see my son but a few hours a week, it's freakin horrible, right!?!?!?! But then I think, this isn't so bad, I can take more and I know I'll get more because I haven't been tested to the level I'm capable of supporting. Things could very well get worse before they get better for all of us. We just hve to decide how far our faith and trust in God will carry us. For me, it'll carry me to the end - hopefully a good end, but whatever it is, he'll support me.

Now, that may not make you feel any better, but it can help you not get discouraged. Life happens, it sucks sometimes, but when your trials are over, life will be good again, and you'll be a better man - if you don't let the trials beat you down.

We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
