I've always loved 1 Corinthians 10:13, which reads, "No temptation has come upon you except that which is common to men. But God is faithful, and he will not allow you to be tempted beyond your ability to handle it, but he will also provide a way out so that you can endure it."

And in my mind, it all boils down to this:

1. Struggle isn't a personal affliction; it affects everyone.

2. I can't be tempted beyond my capacity, and as a result, I grow stronger as I face challenges.

3. God is faithful; I know he has my back, so I turn to him whenever I face adversity.
