In the 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 here in His love, and give me grace in this trial to behave as His child.” Then say, “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.” And last, say, “In His good time He can bring me out again. How and when He knows.”
Therefore say, “I am here by (1) God’s appointment (2) in His keeping, (3) under His training and (4) for His time” (Michael Green, ed., Illustrations for Biblical Preaching [Grand Rapids: Baker, 1989], 388).

I agree, that's some really deep stuff but what makes it so much more is how you really put it into practice, keep it up Josh!
