Protect me from violent tests and preserve and shelter me in the strongly fortified fortress of Thy Covenant and Testament.

Thou art the Powerful! Thou art the Seeing! Thou art the Hearing! O Thou the Compassionate God! Bestow upon me a heart which, like unto glass, may be illumined with the light of Thy love, and confer upon me a thought which may change this world into a rose-garden through the spiritual bounty.

Thou art the Compassionate, the Merciful! Thou art the Great Beneficent God! -- 'ABDU'L-BAHA.
Baha'i prayer is not, however, confined to the use of prescribed forms, important as those are.

Baha'u'llah teaches that one's whole life should be a prayer, that work done in the right spirit is worship, that every thought, word and deed devoted to the Glory of God and the good of one's fellows is prayer, in the truest sense of the world.( 24).
