It is but a test and I will take it in the right way.

You must realise that the very word test implies a strain—it implies a strain even to the breaking point—but because God is in command, the breaking point is never reached. At that stage, the Shepherd steps in, and, gathering His little flock into the safety of His Arms, bids them forget.

Apply this, if you can, to the details of your daily life—to those important happenings, which have a way of going wrong in spite of your best endeavours. Detach yourself sufficiently from these incidents to say—It is but a test, and I will take it in the right way.
