A Prayer For Everyone
info_icon
aayat-ul-Kursi
The most excellent holy war is that for the conquest of self;
Therefore let God fill my angry heart with safety and faith;
For no person has drunk a better draught
Than me who has swallowed anger
For God's dear sake
And again:
Every human heart has two motivations
One towards good and the other towards evil
But God's help is near and he who asks
Obtains this help in fighting the evil promptings of his own heart.
"Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high", for example and Rudyard Kipling's "If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue/Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch/If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,/If all men count with you, but none too much;/If you can fill the unforgiving minute/With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,/Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,/And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son!"
"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."
"God bless mother and daddy, my brother and sister. And, oh God, do take care of yourself, because if anything happens to you, we're all sunk."
