The popular idea that "God won't give you more than you can handle" gets tested and exposed in this chapter — and what replaces it is far more honest and far more hope-giving.
Discussion Questions
6 questions1.Katie is frequently at the end of herself in this book — exhausted, overwhelmed, grieving, out of answers. How does she describe those moments? What does she do when she reaches her limit?
2.The cliché "God won't give you more than you can handle" is often offered as comfort, but Katie's experience seems to flatly contradict it. Do you think this phrase is true? What does the Bible actually say about this (see 2 Corinthians 1:8-9)?
3.Paul says that he was "given more than he could handle" in Asia precisely so that he would not trust himself but God, who raises the dead (2 Cor. 1:9). How does this reframe Katie's experience of being overwhelmed? How does it reframe yours?
