91: O thou who hast bowed thyself down in prayer ...

1 |
O thou who hast bowed thyself down in prayer before the Kingdom of God! Blessed art thou, for the
beauty of the divine Countenance hath enraptured thy
heart, and the light of inner wisdom hath filled it full, and
within it shineth the brightness of the Kingdom. Know
thou that God is with thee under all conditions, and that He
guardeth thee from the changes and chances of this world
and hath made thee a handmaid in His mighty vineyard....

As to thy respected husband: it is incumbent upon thee
to treat him with great kindness, to consider his wishes and
be conciliatory with him at all times, till he seeth that
because thou hast directed thyself toward the Kingdom of
God, thy tenderness for him and thy love for God have but
increased, as well as thy concern for his wishes under all
conditions.

I beg of the Almighty to keep thee firmly established in
His love, and ever shedding abroad the sweet breaths of
holiness in all those regions.
