In time of trouble say:
First ―
He brought me here. It is by His will I am in this strait place. In that I will rest.
Next ―
He will keep me in His love and give me grace in this trial to behave as His child.
Then ―
He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He intends me to
learn, and working in me the grace He means to bestow.
Last ―
In His good time He can bring me out again ― how and when He knows.
Say: I am here ―
1. By God’s appointment.
2. In His keeping.
3. Under His training.
4. For His time.
