Prayer for Making Decisions – Elika Mahony
June 12, 2023, in Music > Recording Artist, by Sonjel VreelandIn this video we hear a prayer revealed by Baha’u’llah for making decisions sung by Elika Mahony with the China National Symphony String Quartet. The prayer was revealed for Samandar, an Apostle of Baha’u’llah, and it is meant to be repeated nineteen times, followed by reflecting on the decision, and then taking action.
The prayer sung is:
Thou seest me, O my God, detached from all save Thee and cleaving unto Thee. Guide me, then, in all mine affairs unto that which profiteth me for the glory of Thy Cause and the loftiness of the station of thy loved ones.
