Bahá'í Prayers:
"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 succor in both this and the world
to come. Thou, verily, art the All-Bountiful, the All-Knowing, the All-Wise."
Bahá'u'lláh
"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 endeavor, 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."
Bahá'u'lláh
"Is there any Remover of difficulities save God? Say: Praised be
God! He is God! All are His servants, and all abide by His bidding."
The Báb
"Create in me a pure heart, O my God, and renew a tranquil conscience
within me, O my Hope! Through the spirit of power, confirm Thou me in thy
Cause, O my Best-Beloved, and by the light of Thy glory reveal unto me
Thy path, O thou the Goal of my desire! Through the power of Thy transcendent
might lift me up unto the heaven of Thy holiness, O Source of my being,
and by the breezes of Thine eternity gladden me, O Thou Who art my God!
Let Thine everlasting melodies breathe tranquillity on me, O my Companion,
and let the riches of Thine ancient countenence deliver me from all except
Thee, O my Master, and let the tidings of the revelation of Thine incorruptible
Essence bring me joy, O Thou Who art the most manifest of the manifest,
and the most hidden of the hidden!"
Bahá'u'lláh
"O God! Educate these children. These children are the plants of
Thine orchard, the flowersof Thy meadow, the roses of Thy garden. Let Thy
rain fall upon them; let the Sun of Reality shine upon the with Thy love.
Let Thy breeze refresh them in order that they may be trained, grow and
develop, and appear in the utmost beauty. Thou art the Giver. Thou art
the Compassionate."
'Abdu'l-Bahá
