[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]God does not bring you misery, so he most certainly is not going to give you 'just enough' of it [/b][u]
I hate that saying.
I think it is most often a perversion (for lack of a better word ) of 2 Corinthians 12:9 
9 " But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me."

I agree. [b]There us a misguided belief thatGod somehow caused or allowed people's suffering. God does not cause anyone's suffering. [/b][/quote]Every time I have suffered, it was either something I did or another human being did it to me.  That's called free will.  People will jump back and say ' but why did God let little Mary die in the car accident hit by a drunk driver'?  I don't profess to know God's reasoning for allowing it but I do know that if we live in this world, we will be exposed to the nefarious free will of others.

Free will, on both sides of the coin, comes with a price.  It's either all or nothing.  Sorry, didn't mean to get off the subject.[/quote]
You did not get off the topic.
You are spot on.
God did not cause it, but He sure will see you through and provide 'the peace that surpasses all understanding'
His grace truly is sufficient.
That doesn't mean it is easy, but it is do-able.
