Four Anchors for Trials

“These ‘four anchors’ they found in Andrew Murray’s formula for trial.

1. Say, He brought me here. It is by His will I am in this strait place and in that fact I will rest.

2. He will keep me here in His love and give me grace to behave as His child.

3. Then He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He intends for me to learn.

4. In His good time He can bring me out again—how and when He knows.

So let me say, I am (1) here by God’s appointment; (2) in His keeping; (3) under His training; (4) for His time.”
