Ray and Katie -- I don't know that there's actually a scripture in the Bible that says "God will not give you more than you can bear." I think the scripture really says something to the effect that "God will not allow you to be tempted above what you are able to bear, but with every temptation will make a way of escape." Seems that is talking about something entirely different. I could be mistaken.
