Individual – Service; Attraction to God’s Manifestation; Spiritual growth

Make me ready, in all circumstances, O my Lord, to serve Thee and to set myself towards the adored sanctuary of Thy Revelation and of Thy Beauty. If it be Thy pleasure, make me to grow as a tender herb in the meadows of Thy grace, that the gentle winds of Thy will may stir me up and bend me into conformity with Thy pleasure, in such wise that my movement and my stillness may be wholly directed by Thee. 

- Baha’u’llah  (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)

Individual – To surrender one’s will to what God “hast decreed in Thy Tablets”

I implore Thee, O my Lord, by Thy name the splendors of which have encompassed the earth and the heavens, to enable me so to surrender my will to what Thou hast decreed in Thy Tablets, that I may cease to discover within me any desire except what Thou didst desire through the power of Thy sovereignty, and any will save what Thou didst destine for me by Thy will. 

- Baha’u’llah  (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
