Trust in God

Trust in God:
To The Blessed Beauty

"He who puts his trust in God,
God will suffice him;
He who fears God,
God will send him relief."

Baha'u'llah

"He who puts his trust in God,
God will suffice him;
He who fears God,
God will send him relief."

"He who puts his trust in God,"
Is assured of God's existence,
Relies on the Holy Spirit's assistance,
Entrusts everything to God's manifestation,
Practices faith without cessation.

"God will suffice him;"
God will meet his urgent needs,
God will satisfy his spiritual desires,
God will be sufficient help,
God will inspire confidence.

"He who fears God,"
Is awestruck by the Divine Presence,
Has reverence for the Holy Spirit,
Has veneration for God's manifestation,
Intone his praise for prayer's answered.

"God will send him relief."
God will send his soul deliverance,
God will solace his agitation,
God will alleviate his terror.
