Heed not your weaknesses and frailty; fix your gaze upon the invincible power of the Lord, your God, the Almighty. Has He not, in past days, caused Abraham, in spite of His seeming helplessness, to triumph over the forces of Nimrod? Has He not enabled Moses, whose staff was His only companion, to vanquish Pharaoh and his hosts? Has He not established the ascendancy of Jesus, poor and lowly as He was in the eyes of men, over the combined forces of the Jewish people? Has He not subjected the barbarous and militant tribes of Arabia to the holy and transforming discipline of Muhammad, His Prophet? Arise in His name, put your trust wholly in Him, and be assured of ultimate victory. From the Writings of The Bab:(Addressed to the Letters of the Living cited in "The Dawn-Breakers: Nabils Narrative of the Early Days of the Bahai Revelation" trans. and ed. Shoghi Effendi (Wilmette: Bahai Publishing Trust, 1974), p. 94)
