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 democorcy become glorious in spiritual degrees even as it has aspired to material degrees and render this just government victorious. Confirm this revered nation to uprise the standard of the oneness of humanity, to promulgate the Most Great Peace, to become thereby most glorioius and praiseworthly among all the nations of the world. O God! This American nation is worthly of thy favors and is deserving of thy mercy. Make it precious and near to Thee through Thy bounty and bestowal. Abdu’l-Baha PRAYER FOR AMERICA
God wants to be known and worshiped by all of humanity. If you read all of the prayers you will know what God’s relationship with humanity needs to be. If you were a plant that had crappy soil and city water and a small pot and no direct light you would go dormant or you would die. Now with a bigger pot good soil, good water, and direct sunlight, you would thrive and the plant would grow big and strong and flourish. Thats what I think God’s relationship with humanity is. What is your relationship with God?
