The Place Where I Am

First,
He brought me here;
It is by His will that I am in this difficult place;
...in that I will rest.
Second,
He will keep me here
in His love,
and give me grace in this trial
to behave as His child.
Third,
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.
Fourth,
in His good time He can bring me out again,
...how and when He knows.
So... I am here
by His appointment,
in His keeping,
under His training,
for His time.
