I really didn't understand this concept until I faced a serious illness that could change my whole life, Standing in the hospital, wondering why, with all the people who were praying for me, my illness was not going away I prayed the simple words, "Lord, may this cup pass from my lips. But if it cannot, not my will but thine be done."
It was then that I understood that the cup that God had given me was not more than I could handle because He was by my side.
I left the hospital changed forever both physically and spiritually. Since then, I have become more calm and serene realizing that I need not be anxious for God is with me.
