Faith is a lot like lifting weights. In order to lift weights, you must keep working at it, its difficult in the beginning to make it routine; but the more you lift the stronger your muscles will get and you can take on more. Many times in our lives, we will have to lift some very heavy things that seem impossible to move. But faith in God gives you a strength that defies logic; science, or whatever anybody tells you you can't do. Every prayer you make, every church mass you attend, every moment that you choose to focus on God and all things related to him is a way of strengthening your spiritual muscle. God will never give you more than what you can handle. But I do believe that the strength of your faith will determine how you handle the heavy things that land on your chest sometimes. Some people lift them and keep going, others fall and even though they keep going, they often end up going in the wrong direction, which is away from God.
