Baha’is believe in the power of prayer and you’ll find Baha’is and their friends, throughout the world, getting together to pray. This is often referred to as a ‘devotional gathering’ or ‘devotional meeting’, and they happen in diverse settings, whether in cities or villages.
October is Mental Health Month and to contribute towards efforts to raise awareness about mental health, I’ve compiled this list of 30 Studio Sessions based on prayers or excepts from the Baha’i Writings regarding healing and assistance with tests and difficulties.
Before we get to the list, please know that categorizing prayers and determining what a prayer is about, or supplicating for, is subjective! These are the passages that come to my mind when I think about healing and overcoming challenges but I’m sure there are other prayers you turn to–and if they’ve been sung in our Studio Session series and I haven’t included them below, please add them in the comments section!
