Is It Too Much?

Many times I have been reminded of the passage in Corinthians that talks about God not giving us more than we can handle. Let's be honest, after a while of hearing this, we can become annoyed by it. I know for me, this is something that I would rather not hear, particularly when I feel as if life is too overwhelming. The other day, I heard a different viewpoint on this. Do we sometimes think that what we are going through is too much, when really it isn't? Or, is it too much because we continue to try and do things our own way rather than allow God to do things His way? This second question was the one that got me. Yes, when I continuously try to do things my own way and try to fix things on my own, of course I am going to feel overwhelmed and as if I can't handle things. But, what would happen if I allowed God to take the lead and take control of the situations? Would I then be able to handle things? I think that God doesn't give us more than we can handle, and I think that it isn't too much for us to handle when we allow Him to take control of it. Rather than trying to have control like I always do, maybe it would be more beneficial to allow God to work things out. Instead of stressing and feeling as if I can't handle the things going on in my life, I can choose to allow God to work through me and give me the strength to handle things.
