Evening Prayers

As the sun sets and the world quiets, we gather to reflect, to seek solace, and to draw nearer to the Divine. In this episode, we delve into the serene beauty of Bahá’í evening prayers—a time to surrender our thoughts, renew our spirits, and find peace in the embrace of God’s mercy.

One such prayer begins:

“O my God, my Master, the Goal of my desire! This, Thy servant, seeketh to sleep in the shelter of Thy mercy, and to repose beneath the canopy of Thy grace, imploring Thy care and Thy protection.”

These sacred words invite us to release the burdens of the day and rest in divine assurance.

In the stillness of night, we echo the plea:

“Help me to be selfless and aid me to be detached. Make me as dust in the pathway of Thy loved ones.”

This supplication calls us to humility and service, reminding us of our purpose beyond ourselves.

These divine counsels guide us to find contentment and trust in God's sufficiency.

As we close our eyes tonight, may we open our hearts to these sacred words, allowing them to illuminate our path and deepen our connection with the Divine.
