Here's one of my favorite verses:
I Corinthians 10:13 (from The Message)--
No test or temptation that comes your way is beyond the course of what others have had to face. All you need to remember is that God will never let you down; he'll never let you be pushed past your limit; he'll always be there to help you come through it.

My wife just got a brochure from the Joyce Meyer ministry with some great sayings which she paraphrased from the Bible:
I am a believer not a doubter.
I love all people, and I am loved by all people.
1 prosper in everything I put my hand to. I am blessed in all areas of my life - spiritually, financially, mentally, and socially.
I know God's voice, and I always obey what He tells me.
I don't have a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.
I have been set free. I am free to love, to worship, and to trust with no fear of rejection or being hurt.
I do not allow the devil to use my spirit as a garbage dump by meditating on negative things that he offers me.
No weapon that is formed against me shall prosper, but every tongue that rises against me in judgment, I shall show to be in the wrong.
I am slow to speak, quick to hear, and slow to anger.
I am a giver. It is more blessed to give than to receive. 1 love to give! I have plenty of money to give away all the time.
I am always a positive encouragement. I edify and build up; I never tear down or destroy.
I will cry to God Most High who performs on my behalf and rewards me.

Since there are times when I have felt like I have lost it with anxiety and stress and having a child with autism, and I am learning more that it is not me, but it is God in me that can accomplish His will, these scriptures help me, and I hope they will help someone else.
"I begged the Lord three times to take this problem away from me, and He said to me, 'My grace is enough for you, because My power is made perfect in weakness.' I will have pride in my weaknesses and have joy because of them, so Christ's power can be in me" (2 Corinthians 12:8-9).
This one helped me while coming out of a nervous breakdown which was one of my greatest fears. Keep in mind my son had just been diagnosed, and I didn't have this program, and I didn't have the help on here so I am not saying that anyone on here is going to have a nervous breakdown, but if you have already this may help. I didn't know why my worst fear of "being crazy" seemed to have come true, and God said to me from Psalm 37(which I highly recommend to everyone on here) Psalm 37:24
"Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down; For the Lord upholds him with His hand. "
This let me know that eventhough I fell, I still had hope because it wasn't as bad as it would have been had God not been helping me:). It wasn't over:).
And finally, it's just my personal experience from what I've been through that sometimes I have an issue with people saying that God never gives you more than you can handle. I know about the scripture about with each temptation there being a way out, and I believe that; however, I do feel that we all at times can go through things like the loss of a loved one, etc. that seem like more than we can handle, and we can be in great pain. If this is so, sometimes well meaning people may say that scripture, and the person may feel like they should be able to handle the pain because they are Christians so something must be wrong with them because they feel like they aren't handling it. For me it was my son being diagnosed with autism. I was talking to God about that scripture and that issue one day after thinking about it for years, and when I went home that evening the following scripture appeared to me twice:
"We were under great pressure, far beyond our ability to endure, so that we despaired even of life. Indeed, in our hearts we felt the sentence of death. But this happened that we might not rely on ourselves but on God, who raises the dead (2 Cor. 1:8-9)."
To me, sometimes we go through things that we just can't handle, and we do feel hopeless, but God can and will always help us when we rely on Him and not just ourselves.
I hope something in here helped somebody, and I do like the scripture about endurance and temptation. It's just that I feel sometimes it may get misused so I hope that doesn't offend anyone. If it helps you, that's all that matters, and God uses different scriptures to speak to all of us at different times:).
God Bless You All
