Prayer

Sometimes I have to pray and pray and pray...

and even then I don't want to stop praying.

Sometimes I realize how insufficient and tiny and meaningless I am compared to life and God and this whole world.

And it just makes me want to cry and pray and completely understand my whole wretchedness.

Sometimes I need that to drop me back down to groundedness.

"Rely as much as thou canst upon the True One, and be thou resigned to the Will of God, so that like unto a candle thou mayest be enkindled in the world of humanity and like unto a star thou mayest shine and gleam from the Horizon of Reality and become the cause of the guidance of both races."

-Ab'dul Baha
