Dear Marty, Thank you so much for your nice feelings, and I will in fact have some questions for my ONO after I been through your e-mail. I can not think of life and all of what good things I have in it without simply think of HIM, and I thank HIM for whatever is good or bad, because I know deeply in my heart that he picked me from all peoples around the globe to test me, yes to examine my love to HIM and how real is it, plus to prepare me for paradise which is not a place for someone with sins to enter, so part of sin forgiveness is pain in life whatever the source is, only Almighty knows that how much I love HIM. I want to thank you also for the patients prayer, I will do it in my daily praying times, yet in fact I have so many different prayers that include anything and everything in life, any part of it and believe me it works for me, like sometime when I suffers any anxiety or grief I pray to HIM saying: "O GOD, I am a slave of yours, son of the slaves of yours (Father and Mother), my destiny is in Your hand, whatever You make happen in my life is no one can prohibit it, and whatever is Your command to be in my life and hereafter I believe it is justice. I ask You by every Name that is belonging to You, which You called Yourself with, or revealed it in Your books, or You taught it to anyone of Your creation, or You hide it in the knowledge of the unseen with You, I ask You that to make the holy book of me the life of my heart, and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a release for my anxiety" I wish you a good days, and may GOD bless you and everyone in our group.
