Midweek Reflections on protection and gratitude list

‘Idál (Justice), 6 Kalimát (Words) 175 B.E. - Wednesday, July 18, 2018

"O Thou the Merciful One! O my Lord! Make Thy protection my armor, Thy preservation my shield, humbleness before the door of Thy oneness my guard, and Thy custody and defense my fortress and my abode. Preserve me from the suggestions of self and desire, and guard me from every sickness, trial, difficulty and ordeal."

Abdu’l-Baha1

Protection2

Each day I don the armor of God
through prayer,
contemplative meditation,
and study of the sacred scriptures.
