Prayer for Steadfastness
Prayer for Steadfastness:
To the Blessed Beauty

"O ye loved ones of God!
Be ye firm of foot, and fixed of heart, and through the power of the Blessed Beauty’s help, stand ye committed to your purpose. Serve ye the Cause of God. Face ye all nations of the world with the constancy and the endurance of the people of Bahá, that all men may be astounded and ask how this could be, that your hearts are as well-springs of confidence and faith, and as mines so rich in the love of God."

‘Abdu’l-Bahá1

Blessed Beauty,
please give me a lion's heart
steadfast in the Cause of God.

Blessed Beauty,
please help me develop a rhino's skin
impenetrable to the darts of doubt.

Blessed Beauty,
please help my soul become like an angel
reflecting the light of divine love to humanity.
