'we were found equal to our tasks'


When in situations of stress we wonder if there is any more
In us to give, we can be comforted to know that God,
Who knows our capacity perfectly, placed us here to succeed.
No one was foreordained to fail or to be wicked.

When we have been weighed and found wanting,
Let us remember that we were measured before
And we were found equal to our tasks, and , therefore
Let us continue, he will not press upon us more than
We can bear.

Neal A. Maxwell
