The Emotional Struggle: On many occasions, I have felt incredibly drained, emotionally taxed. Throughout my life, I have had trials and tribulations, but some felt so overbearing that I felt I could not go on and was tempted to give up. During those times, I was reminded that God has provided me with the strength to do what I need to do. This could mean something as simple as remembering to eat enough calories, to take deep breaths and bring down the autonomic stress response, etc. We all face temptations, but God does not allow us to be tempted beyond what we are able to endure. He also provides a way to turn away from any temptations.
