O Lord! Confirm me with the Holy Spirit, so that I may call in Thy Name
amongst the nations and give the glad tidings of the manifestation of Thy
kingdom amongst mankind.
O Lord! I am weak, strengthen me with Thy power and potency. My tongue
falters, suffer me to utter Thy commemoration and praise. I am lowly,
honor me through admitting me into Thy kingdom. I am remote, cause me to
approach the threshold of Thy mercifulness. O Lord! Make me a brilliant
lamp, a shining star and a blessed tree, adorned with fruit, its branches
overshadowing all these regions. Verily, Thou art the Mighty, the Powerful
and Unconstrained.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
REVEALED TO THE BAHA'IS OF THE WESTERN STATES: "O God! O God! This is a
broken-winged bird..."
The following commune is to be read ... every day:
O God! O God! This is a broken-winged bird and his flight is very
slow--assist him so that he may fly toward the apex of prosperity and
salvation, wing his way with the utmost joy and happiness throughout the
illimitable space, raise his melody in Thy Supreme Name in all the
regions, exhilarate the ears with this call, and brighten the eyes by
beholding the signs of guidance.
