Rise up this mornin,Smiled with the risin sun


I start uni again full-time today, for my second term of my second year, for 12 weeks. I woke up with the sun shining through my window and a prayer in my mind, which I memorized a couple of years ago when I woke up on a beautiful summers morning.

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.

O God! Thou art more friend to me than I am to myself. I dedicate myself to Thee, O Lord.

- 'Abdu'l-Bahá

(Compilations, Baha'i Prayers, p. 150)
