Bahá’í Explorations

This passage is a beautiful prayer from Bahá’u’lláh, expressing a deep desire for spiritual growth and alignment with the divine will. It highlights themes of devotion, humility, and the aspiration to be guided entirely by a higher power. The imagery of a tender herb in the meadows of grace is particularly evocative, suggesting both vulnerability and the potential for growth through divine influence. This prayer serves as a reminder of the importance of surrendering to a greater purpose and seeking harmony with the spiritual truths that guide one’s life.

Make me ready, in all circumstances, O my Lord, to serve Thee and to set myself towards the adored sanctuary of Thy Revelation and of Thy Beauty. If it be Thy pleasure, make me to grow as a tender herb in the meadows of Thy grace, that the gentle winds of Thy will may stir me up and bend me into conformity with Thy pleasure, in such wise that my movement and my stillness may be wholly directed by Thee.
