Baha’i Blog Studio Sessions is an initiative where we invite Baha’is and their friends from around the world to come into a studio and share the Baha’i Writings put to music.
In this Baha’i Blog Studio Session, we’re in Hluboka nad Vltavou, Czech Republic with Goleta Burriston singing “Refresh” based on a prayer by Abdu’l-Baha.
This song was filmed and recorded in Hluboka nad Vltavou, Czech Republic, December 2017.
O God! Refresh and gladden my spirit. Purify my heart. Illumine my powers. I lay all my affairs in Thy hand. Thou art my Guide and my Refuge. I will no longer be sorrowful and grieved; I will be a happy and joyful being. O God! I will no longer be full of anxiety, nor will I let trouble harass me. I will not dwell on the unpleasant things of life.
Abdu’l-Baha
O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord.

What a beautiful voice and melody! By the way “Refresh …” is not an authentified Baha’i prayer.
