Comfort in time of trouble

WHEN TROUBLES COME, REMEMBER THIS

There has no trial or testing come upon us but such as is common to all mankind: but God who knows our limitations, is faithful, who will not allow us to be tested beyond our endurance; but will with the testing provide an acceptable alternative, that we may be able to bear it.

1 Cor. 10:13 (A loose paraphrase by Glenn Tompkins, author of MINISTRY, a handbook for preachers and teachers.)
