Refresh and gladden my spirit.

A Baha'i Prayer
For information on the Baha'i Faith go to:
www.bahai.org

The Text of the prayer is:

O God! Refresh and gladden my spirit. Purify my heart. Illumine my powers. I lay all my affairs in Thy hand. Thou art my Guide and my Refuge. I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being. O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life.O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord.

'Abdu'l-Bahá

it would be also nice to have the same prayer with the images of children - laughing, crying and hugging their moms :) how do you think?

Thank you for your comment. This prayer is so universal that I am sure it inspires today and will inspire in the future many diverse, comforting and inspiring visions.

Great song! Great prayer! Thanks so very much!

Being very much a beginner at chording songs on guitar I'm having trouble. Any way I could get to see the chord changes.

[laughingmeadow]

The guitar starts with a G and the progression of chords are G-C-D throughout the song, though for the last verse (I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord) the chords end with d-c-g. Hope this helps.

I used your video for our Baha'i School devotions this morning and it was received really well. I thought you might like to know that a good 100+ people were able to enjoy your work.
