It behoveth the servant to pray to and seek assistance from God, and to supplicate and implore His aid. Such becometh the rank of servitude, and the Lord will decree whatsoever He desireth, in accordance with His consummate wisdom. (‘Abdu’l-Baha, from a Tablet; The Compilation of Compilations, Vol. II, The Importance of Prayer, Meditation and the Devotional Attitude)
