Grieve not at the divine trials. Be not troubled because of
hardships and ordeals; turn unto God, bowing in humbleness and praying to Him,
while bearing every ordeal, contented under all conditions and thankful in
every difficulty. Verily thy Lord loveth His maid-servants who are patient,
believing and firm. He draws them nigh unto Him through these ordeals and
trials.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (‘Tablets of ‘Abdu’l-Baha, vol. 1’)
