Today is a good day
because I woke with
God's Most Great Name
on my lips
and echoing through my mind.

In Baha'u'llah's Name

In Baha'u'llah's name I ask,
for the ability to teach God's Cause,
and for guidance to us my talents
in accordance with God's will.

In Baha'u'llah's name I ask,
to be independent of all save God,
and to love humanity.

In Baha'u'llah's name I ask,
for help the walk the Path of Faith,
and strength to serve the cause of God.

On Tranquility Tuesday,
I contemplate the Feast of 'Ala',
the beginning of the Month of Loftiness,
and the 19-Day Fast.

At 74--
and beyond the age of fasting--
I look forward
to saying the Fasting prayers.

A few days until Ayyam-I-Ha,
a time of happiness and sharing,
a time to remember the joy
of knowing Baha'u'llah.

Motivation:
God Most Great Name intoned
on a chilly
late winter morning
is a positive start to the day.
