[:en]This was the advice of South African pastor Andrew Murray who had suffered pain from a previous back injury on how he was able to overcome his agony.
“First – I will rest in Him because it is by God’s will that I am here.
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 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 in His way.
I am here – by God’s appointment, in His keeping, under His training, for His time”.
“When God permits suffering, He also provides comfort” – David Roper
