BB00572: Letter to the wife of the Bab, in Shiraz

He is the Mighty

Although from the revolution of the celestial spheres and the alternation of night and day it is evident what is transpiring, yet in every case it depends on the grace of the Lord of Might that whatever is destined comes to pass. Yesterday some words spoken by the honored mother caused my grief to increase, but praise be to God that the illness in my dear one has completely passed. May the Lord of the world through His grace preserve her under all conditions.

Do not in any way allow yourself to grieve and do not dwell overmuch. In all conditions be patient and rely upon God’s grace, for God’s favors are many, and God’s relief will arrive, God willing. Convey my greetings to the honored mother, that they not forget me in their prayers—perhaps through the blessing of their prayers relief will be obtained. And peace be upon you, and the mercy of God and His blessings.
