O handmaid of God! Prayers
are granted through the universal Manifestations of God. Nevertheless, where
the wish is to obtain material things, even where the heedless are concerned,
if they supplicate, humbly imploring God’s help—even their prayer hath an
effect.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Baha’)
