TRUST IN GOD
By Dr.William Saunders, Smyrna, Georgia, U.S.A.
Trust in Him attracts the divine confirmations, opens new spiritual connections, and unfastens the divine healing power latent within all of us, and which is closer to us than our own life vein. How do we trust God? By practice. Our actions demonstrate in whom we trust. Our thoughts are also actions. Think of Him, thank Him, supplicate Him, praise Him, be patient in Him, love Him, worship Him, and obey Him. Set up simple routines: say the Greatest Name 95 times, God is most glorious, or Allah-u-Abha, intone or chant the short healing prayer, the long healing prayer, as the spirit moves you or as you are instructed by your physician. The effect at first may be unnoticeable, but if you persist, its benefits will blossom forth and become as obvious as the noonday sun.
"O SON OF SPIRIT!
There is no peace for thee save by renouncing thyself and turning unto Me; for it behoveth thee to glory in My name, not in thine own; to put thy trust in Me and not in thyself, since I desire to be loved alone and above all that is." (Baha'u'llah, Arabic Hidden Words,#8)
"Hold ye fast unto the cord of means and place your trust in God, the Provider of all means." (Baha'u'llah, The Kitab-i-Aqdas, page 30)
