October 29, 2018, Prescott-
I am now given to saying this personal prayer, in a quiet time of day, preferably at dawn. This is not a revealed verse. It merely reflects my humble sentiments.
” O Creator of all,
Preserve this soul and protect its human host,
from all that is vile and treacherous,
whether within or outside.
Protect this humble home,
and all who shelter within it,
from those forces which mean harm.
Guard this community,
and guide its residents
to do right by themselves,
their families and their neighbours.
Bless this city, county,
state and nation,
and lead us to do right,
by one another and by those
who appeal to us for help.
Give them the strength
to do for themselves,
as dignity and justice
shall illustrate.
Radiate your blessings
upon this continent,
this hemisphere,
this planet.
May the hurt of one
truly be seen
and heard
as the hurt of all.
“Let deeds, not words,
be your adorning”-Baha’u’llah

As always Gary, you have found the truth in the midst of turmoil and danger. We all need to rely on the Almighty and by deeds prove our hearts for truth and goodness.
