Its well known that when Hashem gives a person a Nisayon he also gives him/her the power to overcome it no matter how difficult one may think it is. This is a tremendous Chizuk if you think about it that if it seems impossible, Hashem will give you supernatural powers to overcome it.
This answers a Kashya I once heard about the Akeido: Avraham went to the Akeido with such a tremendous amount of joy that Hashem had commanded him to do something, and when Hashem revealed to Avraham that he must slaughter his own son, Avraham’s joy did not waiver for a second. But when the Soton came to tell Sarah about it she dropped dead out of shock. The obvious question is how is possible such a contrast, Sarah was even on a higher level of prophecy than Avraham, could she not also be Besimcho like him?
This answers it beautifully because it was Avraham’s Nisayon so he was given the power to do it (was one of the 10 nisyonos) but Hashem hadn’t given it to Sarah as a Nisoyon so she didn’t have the Koach for it which is why she died after hearing about it.
I hope this helps people realize that absolutely everything in this world is done with a Cheshbon and there is nothing hard that comes our way that we can’t overcome.
