Motivational Monday: Weekly Goals and Motivation

Kamál (Perfection), 6 Mashíyyat (Will) 174 B.E. - Monday, October 2, 2017

This afternoon I'm upset over a few things happening in the world. There isn't anything I can do, personally, about any of them other than prayer. I can say prayers for the departed, for those who died in the shooting on the strip. I can say a healing prayer for those who were wounded. I want to cry, but I don't think it would do any good. Prayer is much better than crying. The other thing I'm upset, or perhaps I should say nervous, about is the possibility that America will go to war. There isn't anything I can do about that, except fell helpless or pray. I chose prayer and placing everything in Baha'u'llah's hands.

"Love and unity are the needs of the body politic today. Without these there can be no progress or prosperity attained. Therefore, the friends of God must adhere to the power which will create this love and unity in the hearts of the sons of men."
