HOW MUCH CAN ONE FAMILY HANDLE?

I received this email from my Aunt Kim the other day. Ryan is my cousin
who is a sophomore in college in Wisconsin. Please keep everyone in
your thoughts and prayers as they go through this rough time...

"One of Ryan's friends from high school was killed last night in a car
accident. This young man's mom died very suddenly a few months ago and
his uncle committed suicide last November. Sometimes you wonder just
how much one family can take. I keep thinking of Job from the Bible. I
felt so bad for Ryan last night when he called. He was so upset and I
didn't even really know what to say to comfort him.

Philippians 4:6, "Do not be anxious about anything, but in
everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
requests to God." (NIV)"
