O thou whose eyes are fixed upon the Abha Kingdom! In this
grievous day, when dire adversities have shaken the pillars of the earth, and
the tests and trials sent by God have rocked the foundations of the world,
remain thou firm and staunch in His Cause through the power of the Kingdom and
the confirmations from on high. Be thou as steadfast as an immovable mountain,
an impregnable stronghold, a solid bulwark, and an impenetrable barrier. Be not
perturbed by the winds of tribulations or dismayed by grievous calamities. The
splendours of divine assistance are shed abroad from the Kingdom of God, and
the hosts of heavenly confirmation are continually descending from the throne
of the Most High. Rest thou assured and be thou confident.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (From
a Tablet; compilation: ‘Give Me Thy Grace to Serve Thy Loved Ones’, prepared by

Auxiliaries, May 2018)
