Purity
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 countenance deliver me from all except Thee, O my Master, and let the tidings of the revelation of Thine incorruptable Essence bring me joy, O Thou Who art the most manifest of the manifest and the most hidden of the hidden.
Bahaullah
Morning prayer:
I give praise to Thee, O my God, that Thou hast awakened me out of my sleep, and brought me forth after my disappearance, and raised me up from my slumber. I have wakened this morning with my face set toward the splendours of the Day-Star of Thy Revelation, through which the heavens of Thy power and Thy majesty have been illumined, acknowledging Thy signs, believing in Thy Book, and holding unto Thy Cord.
I beseech Thee, by the potency of Thy will and the compelling power of Thy purpose, to make of what Thou didst reveal unto me in my sleep the surest foundation for the mansions of Thy love that are within the hearts of Thy loved ones, and the best instrument for the revelation of the tokens of Thy grace and Thy loving-kindness.
Do Thou ordain for me through Thy most exalted Pen, O my God, the good of this world and of the next. I testify that within Thy grasp are held the reins of all things. Thou changest them as Thou pleasest. No God is there save Thee, the Strong, the Faithful.
Thou art He Who changeth through His bidding abasement into glory, and weakness into strength, and powerlessness into might, and fear into calm, and doubt into certainty. No God is there but Thee, the Mighty, the Beneficent.
Thou disappointest no one who hath sought Thee, nor dost Thou keep back from Thee any one who hath desired Thee. Ordain Thou for me what becometh the heaven of Thy generosity, and the Ocean of Thy bounty. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Most powerful.
Bahaullah
Morning prayer
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 defense. Illumine my inner being with the splendours of the Dayspring of Thy Revelation, even as Thou didst illumine my outer being with the morning light of Thy favour.
Bahaullah
Mercy
My God! Whom I worship and adore! I bear witness unto Thy unity and Thy oneness, and acknowledge Thy gifts, both in the past and in the present. Thou art the All-Bountiful, the overflowing showers of whose mercy have rained down upon high and low alike, and the splendours of Whose grace have been shed over both the obedient and the rebellious.
O God of mercy, before whose door the quintessence of mercy hath bowed down, and around the sanctuary of Whose Cause loving-kindness, in its inmost spirit, hath circled, we beseech Thee, entreating Thine ancient grace, and seeking Thy present favour, that Thou mayest have mercy upon all who are the manifestation of the world of being, and deny them not the outpourings of Thy grace in Thy days.
All are but poor and needy, and Thou, verily, art the All-Possessing, the All-Subduing, the All-Powerful.
Bahaullah
Please feel free to use these revealed prayers if you feel like it. You can print them and put them on the table beside your bed and start your mornings by reciting the verses of heaven which has been given to mankind in plentiful. Your life will be attuned to the new melody of heaven and you will be endowed with love and insight. Bahaullah means "The Glory of God" and you may say the name in English.
Good luck
Bye
Laila
