'Allah does not burden a soul beyond that it can bear.'
(Surah Baqarah – V 286)
A client once referenced the above quote from the Koran (had to google though to find it) during the ongoing struggle he experienced managing his mental health (specifically OCD). As a Muslim his position was that God would not have given him any greater woes than he could handle. This clearly had given him strength to press on and play out the hand he had been given.
The bible echoes such a teaching in Corinthians, 'God is faithful, and he will not let you be tempted beyond your ability, but with the temptation he will also provide the way of escape, that you may be able to endure it.' (I may have overlooked a better one. Indeed, i'm sure I have).
I'm left wondering though about the heavy burdens some poor souls carry that seem beyond the capability of any human being. Surely God has given too much to these people to carry?
