A
Prayer for America
O Thou kind Lord! This gathering is turning to Thee. These
hearts are radiant with Thy love. These minds and
spirits are exhilarated by the message of Thy
glad-tidings. O God! Let this American democracy
become glorious in spiritual degrees even as it has
aspired to material degrees, and render this just government victorious.
Confirm this revered nation to upraise the standard of the
oneness of humanity, to promulgate the Most Great Peace, to
become
thereby most glorious and praiseworthy among all the
nations
of the world. O God! This American nation is worthy of Thy
favors and is deserving of Thy mercy. Make it precious and
near
to Thee through Thy bounty and bestowal.
-- 'Abdu'l-Baha
