It behoveth the servant to pray to and seek assistance from God, and to supplicate and implore His aid. Such becometh the rank of servitude, and the Lord will decree whatsoever He desireth, in accordance with His consummate wisdom.
('Abdu'l-Bahá, From a Tablet - translated from the Arabic)
We are actually "permitted" to seek the aid of the Almighty! Mindboggling as this is for a poor human being, it is a reality we can see in the lives of those who have arisen to serve the Faith - how greatly their feeble efforts are reinforced by an invisible Providence. Many of these prominent teachers are among the ranks of the Hands of the Cause of God. It is a great inspiration to read about their exploits! A powerful book chronicling the heroic deeds of the faithful is The Dawn Breakers (look here too), a "must read" for Bahá'ís. It allows one to witness and understand how hidden Forces assist in moments of danger and peril when our motives have been pure, and our hearts are connected with the Source .
