Reading a Prayer Revealed by Baha'u'llah

6 'Ilm 162 B.E. October 20 -21, 2005 A.D.

I was feeling a bit low
looking for something to lift my spirits
to make my soul and mind happy.

I opened my prayer book
and turned a page
I had often turned to before,
there the prayer I have often read,
a prayer I have often said before.

As I read it over again -
"Dispel my grief ..."
the words spoke directly to me
and scattered my sadness
I could feel the bounty of God
descending and scattering the clouds
that hid the sun of faith and love.

I felt the holy spirit
come into my life,
I felt the joy of a new day
but outside Earth's night was here.
