    God has a reason for your suffering. (Meaning God is the cause of your suffering)

    Everything happens for a reason. (They believe that everything bad that happens to you is God orchestrated)

    There is a reason and answer why everything happens but it doesn't mean God was involved


    God won't give you more than you can handle. (Their implication is that everything coming at you is from God)

    God's grace is available when we go through tough times but we can also put ourselves into stressful situations he never wanted us to suffer
    .
    I should have added that what bothered me was the context they were written in...I edited that in in red above.


    Case in point, see the meme below:

    Have you heard the little chorus churches used to sing?

    Let go and let God have His wonderful way
    Let go and let God have His way
    Your sorrows will vanish, your nights turn to day
    Let go and let God have His way

    LOL

    I was speaking at an evening service at a particular church two days ago. My message was "Trials and Tribulations Do NOT Come from God" where I hit strong on the spiritual warfare aspect. But I touched on every one of those clichés.

    The difficulty was that just BEFORE I spoke, the pastor of the church that I was speaking at began to make statements like, "Some people say that trials come from the devil, but I know that Satan could not have been the one who brought those trials that got me saved" or something to that effect. As he was rambling on I said, "Lord, he is saying the opposite of what I am supposed to preach. Should I change my message?" In my spirit I sensed a clear "no" so I I asked for boldness.

    I preached boldly, showing them some of the Scriptures erroneously used to claim that God sends them (and strangely enough I was getting most of the "amens" from this pastor). Many in the congregation came to me later and thanked me for the message. One lady whispered in my ear, "I agree with EVERYTHING you said. Thank you".

    EXACTLY!!!

    That is why I believe that God is giving more teaching of His Word that rejects these ideas.
