Just read this wonderful passage and became inspired.
In 2 Corinthians 1: 8b-9 It talks about how they wanted to share how they endured through some hard trials. It says they endured to the point where they couldn't endure anymore, it was beyond their strength. They even thought they were going to die! But because of that they learned to stop relying on themselves.
To me I read this: Even those who were writers of the Scriptures we read, and believe upon, were still learning and were not perfect human beings. They were still learning just as much as we are today. And the Spirit still used them to write these passages we hold dearly.
And the subject of which I read told me this as well: God doesn't give us anymore than we can handle = FALSE.
Yes He does give us more than we can handle, so we can stop trying to handle it and instead rely on the God who can raise us from the dead. That way if we did die, He would bring us right back!
