Some prayers from the Bahá’í Holy Writings.

            “Blessed is the spot, and the house,

             and the place, and the city, and the

             heart, and the mountain, and the

             refuge, and the cave, and the valley,

             and the land, and the sea, and the

             island, and the meadow where

             mention  of God hath been made,

             and His praise glorified.”

             (Baha'u'llah)

Unity

“O my God!  O my God!  Unite the hearts of Thy servants, and reveal to them Thy great purpose.  May they follow Thy commandments and abide in Thy law.  Help them, O God, in their endeavour, and grant them strength to serve Thee.  O God!  Leave them not to themselves, but guide their steps by the light of Thy knowledge, and cheer their hearts by Thy love. Verily, Thou art their Helper and their Lord.”

Daily Prayer

“I bear witness, O my God, that Thou hast created me to know Thee and to worship Thee.  I testify, at this moment, to my powerlessness and to Thy might, to my poverty and to Thy wealth. There is none other God but Thee, the Help in Peril, the Self-Subsisting.”

Healing

“Thy name is my healing, O my God, and remembrance of Thee is my remedy.  Nearness to Thee is my hope, and love for Thee is my companion.  Thy mercy to me is my healing and my succour in both this world and the world to come.  Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.”

Happiness

“O God!  Refresh and gladden my spirit.  Purify my heart.  Illumine my powers.  I lay all my affairs in Thy hand.  Thou art my Guide and my Refuge.  I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being.  O God!  I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life. O God!  Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself.  I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord.”  

Morning

“I have wakened in Thy shelter, O my God, and it becometh him that seeketh that shelter to abide within the Sanctuary of Thy protection and the Stronghold of Thy defence.  Illumine my inner being, O my Lord, with the splendours of the Day-Spring of Thy Revelation, even as Thou didst illumine my outer being with the morning light of Thy favour.”

Travelling

“I have risen this morning by Thy grace, O my God, and left my home trusting wholly in Thee, and committing myself to Thy care.  Send down, then, upon me, out of the heaven of Thy mercy, a blessing from Thy side, and enable me to return home in safety even as Thou didst enable me to set out under Thy protection with my thoughts fixed steadfastly upon Thee. There is none other God but Thee, the One, the Incomparable, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise.”

Difficulties

“Is there any Remover of difficulties save God?  Say:  Praised be God!  He is God!  All are His servants and all abide by His bidding!”

Children

 “O Thou kind Lord!  These lovely children are the handiwork of the fingers of Thy might and the wondrous signs of Thy greatness. O God!  Protect these children, graciously assist them to be educated and enable them to render service to the world of humanity.  O God!  These children are pearls, cause them to be nurtured within the shell of Thy loving-kindness.  Thou art the Bountiful, the All-Loving.”

Love

“O God, my God!  Aid Thou Thy trusted servants to have loving and tender hearts.  Help them to spread, amongst all the nations of the earth, the light of guidance that cometh from the Company on high.  Verily Thou art the Strong, the Powerful, the Mighty, the All-Subduing, the Ever-Giving.  Verily Thou art the Generous, the Gentle, the Tender, the Most Bountiful.”
