Be thou as a flame of fire to my enemies, a river of life eternal to my loved ones... By God, should one who is in affliction or grief read this tablet with absolute sincerity, God will dispel his sadness and remove his afflictions... Oh friends, be not careless of the virtues with which ye have been endowed, neither be neglectful of your high destiny.

Illumine my face with the radiance of the orb of thy bounty... religion is a radiant light, and an impregnable stronghold for the protection and the welfare of the people of the world... the flame of my separation from thee hath melted my heart within me.

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.
