The true worshipper, while praying, should endeavour not so
much to ask God to fulfil his wishes and desires, but rather to adjust these
and make them conform to the Divine Will. Only through such an attitude can one
derive that feeling of inner peace and contentment which the power of prayer
alone can confer. (From a letter dated 26 October 1938 written on behalf of
Shoghi Effendi to an individual believer; The Compilation of Compilations, Vol.
II, The Importance of Prayer, Meditation and the Devotional Attitude)
