A Trusting Surrender

Today I look at Poems and Prayers on the theme of Trust & Surrender.

Highlighted are works by Annie Johnson Flint, Andrew Murray, John & Betty Stam, and John Wesley.

Rules for my life: 

1. God brought me here. It is by His will that I am in this confined place. 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. He will make the trial a blessing, teaching me the lessons He intends for me to learn and working in me the grace He means to bestow. 
4. In His good time He can bring me out again — when and how, He knows. 

Let me say I am here by God’s appointment, in His keeping, under His training, for His time. 

- Andrew Murray
