Bravery, discord, wisdom and mercy

Unto the Most Holy Book, everyone must turn, and all that is not expressly recorded therein, must be referred to the Universal House of Justice. It is verily the truth and the purpose of God Himself. Whoso doth deviate therefrom is verily of them that love discord. I entreat Thee…to rain down out of the heaven of Thy mercy and the clouds of Thy tender compassion, what will gladden the hearts of Thy servants who have turned towards Thee and helped Thy cause. The wisdom of prayer is this, that it causeth a connection between the servant and the True One. Make us then to be of them who help Thee when fallen into the hands of those thine enemies who are numbered among the rebellious of Thy creatures. O Thou whose nearness is my wish, Whose presence is my hope, Whose remembramce  Is my desire…I beseech Thee… to aid me to turn my face unto Thy face.    The more often the pure gold is thrown into the furnace of tests, the greater will become its purity and brilliance, and it will acquire a new splendor and brightness. Graciously look upon Thy servant, humble and lowly at Thy door, with the glances of  the eye of Thy mercy and immerse him in the ocean of Thy eternal grace.
