Trust in and Fear of God

Trust In and Fear of God

"He who put his trust in God, God will suffice him;
He who fears God, God will send him relief."
Baha'u'llah

Expect
fulfillment of your prayers,
and all necessities supplied;
confidence in God is the guide:
The Lord know your affairs.

Relief
knowing God is in charge,
you can move forward without fear
meeting each test as it appears;
trepidation's discharged.
