We need to acknowledge our weak constitution as human beings and the fact that we are in desperate need of God’s assistance

Insights from this prayer by 'Abdu'l-Baha

  • We “are weak souls standing” at the “door” of God;
  • We are “paupers” in God’s “courtyard”;
  • We are “desperate” for God’s “grace”;
  • We are “in dire need” of God’s “succour”;
  • We are “turning” our “faces toward the kingdom” of God’s “oneness, yearning for the bounties” of His “bestowals.”
