Strength, Family, Obstacles, Gratitude

1. Illumine, O Lord, the faces of Thy servants, that they may behold Thee; and cleanse their hearts that they may turn unto the court of Thy heavenly favors....

2. They that have forsaken their country for the purpose of teaching Our Cause—these shall the Faithful Spirit strengthen through its power....

4. Aid me, O my Lord, to set myself towards Thee, and to hearken unto the voice of Thy loved ones....

5. Lauded be Thy name, O my God and the God of all things, my Glory and the Glory of all things, my Desire and the Desire of all things, my Strength and the Strength of all things, my King and the King of all things, my Aim and the Aim of all things, my Mover and the Mover of all things! 

6. Every time I attempt to make mention of Thee, I am hindered by the sublimity of Thy station and the overpowering greatness of Thy might....

7. Awaken me and make me conscious....

8. Perplexing difficulties have arisen and formidable obstacles have appeared....
