2 Corinthians 1:8

For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. (2 Corinthians 1:8)

Three points:

1. We have problems, burdens, trials in our faith and life.

2. Sometimes these are above our strength; it is when we say, "I just can't take it any more.

3. Yet in verse 9 and 10 it is written: "Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, who delivered us from so great a death, and does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us..." We can go on. Take courage brother and sister.
