O Lord! Make this youth radiant and confer Thy bounty upon
this poor creature. Bestow upon him knowledge, grant him added strength at the
break of every morn and guard him within the shelter of Thy protection so that
he may be freed from error, may devote himself to the service of Thy Cause, may
guide the wayward, lead the hapless, free the captives and awaken the heedless,
that all may be blessed with Thy remembrance and praise. Thou art the Mighty
and the Powerful.
- ‘Abdu’l-Baha (The Compilation of Compilations, vol. II,
Youth)
