Oh my Lord, make thy protection my armor, thy preservation my shield... I was withered, Thou didst revive me... I beseech thee to aid and assist me in all times, and under all conditions.

Thou art the remover of every anguish and the dispeller of every affliction... keep me safe in the shelter of Thy mercy... oh, Lord, unite all. Let the religions agree and make the nations as one, so they may see each other as one family, and the whole earth as one home.

Verily, powerlessness to comprehend Thee is the essence of understanding, confession of shortcomings is the only means of attaining Thy presence, and admission of poverty is the source of true wealth.

Give me thy grace to serve thy loved ones... refresh my heart with the living waters of thy love... impede not the flow of the living water.

From a spiritual viewpoint, there are no differences between men and women...any moment animated by love moveth from the periphery to the center...make us waves on the sea, flowers in the garden, united.

Let my heart be dilated with joy...the holy fragrance of divine unity is diffused far and wide...this vast, great ocean is near – astonishingly near – unto you.

Help me to be selfless...grant that I may offer up my soul to the earth...the purpose of justice is unity among men.

Unity and justice are two intertwined pillars of the Bahá'i faith. Come and join us in prayer at the beginning of your day.

Early in the morning, our Dawn Prayers group takes turns reading Bahá'i prayers, to inspire spirituality as we start our day. We invite you, whenever you start your day, to listen to our half hour podcast, for inspiration and unity.

Do you ever wake up in the middle of the night, and feel alone and anxious? Did you know God is right there, whether you can feel His presence or not? This prayer can help you connect with God when you need Him the most.
