This is the greatest performance of the Long Healing Prayer ,imo: ( www.bahaiprayers.org/healing6.htm ) .And about the "HE" that is in this prayer which might be a distraction or a small obsticle , I got to say that with a Jungian (or Post-Jungian) approach to the text/lyrics (& Scriptures) ;having Jungian definitions of Anima/Animus , we can understand that the "He" should not necessarily be a Patriarchic problem ,because there is a "he" and a "she" inside every human being, man and/or woman (or transgender). So I guess there can be discussions about this but the simple - yet complex - concepts of Anima/Anmus make it easier to overcome those -sometimes - obsessive yet fair feministic dogmas.I mean both theories (Feminism and Jungian and Post-Jungian Psyche-Analysis) can be in harmony within one Faith if we meditate upon both and the scriptures of that Faith.Like this Prayer.Thanks for this dlightful Divine Voice -female heavenly voice- and Music.God the most Glorious bless you.

Such a sincere supplication which stimulates the dearest wishes of the heart.

13 The Path Of Thy Love

This is a 13 minute Prayer Meditation for Healing. It is from the Writings of Baha'u'llah, and is said to have a potency from the Celestial Realms. 

Do not be put off by the word "He." The reality of God is far beyond gender and human comprehension. It is only that we are limited by our own language that we use a Title like this. 

When I think of God, I think of an Ocean of Light and Love that is guiding us, helping us, healing us, inviting us to be the best we can be... to better this world, and, in so doing, we transform, spiritually... becoming more loving, kinder, more patient, more awake and forgiving, more playful and enthusiastic, more compassionate and wise.

"O God, My God" by Gary Sterling

Sitting with my friends
They’re all laughing
I don’t know what to do 
If their laughter’s hurting others
Is their joy really true

I know my friends are kind
So now I’m trying to find
The reason
Why we’re acting blind 
To our inner eye and feelings

I see I see too much - anxiety
I see I see another - way the world can be
I see I see all these - possibilities
I see I see the path - before me
		
(INSTRUMENTAL) Ooooh

Scrolling through our phones 
Watching others
Wishin we were in their shoes 
Only wanting what they have 
Is our purpose really true

But I understand
Who I really am, 
Is greater
Than all of my desires
I look to what is higher, 
To the Creator

I see I see too much - anxiety
I see I see another - way the world can be		(+oooh) 
I see I see all these - possibilities
I see I see the path - before me

I know my friends are kind
So now I’m trying to find
The reason
Why we’re acting blind 
To our inner eye and feelings

Now I understand
Who I really am,
Is greater
Than all of my desires
I look to what is higher,
To the Creator


I see I see too much - anxiety
I see I see another - way the world can be
I see I see all these - possibilities
I see I see the path - before me

Path Before Me (Acoustic)

Tablet of Ahmad

He is the King, the All-Knowing, the Wise!  

Lo, the Nightingale of Paradise 
singeth upon the twigs of the Tree of Eternity, 
with holy and sweet melodies, 
proclaiming to the sincere ones 
the glad tidings of the nearness of God, 
calling the believers in the Divine Unity 
to the court of the Presence of the Generous One, 
informing the severed ones 
of the message which hath been revealed by God,
 the King, the Glorious, the Peerless, 
guiding the lovers to the seat of sanctity 
and to this resplendent Beauty.

Verily this is that Most Great Beauty, 
foretold in the Books of the Messengers,
 through Whom truth shall be distinguished from error
and the wisdom of every command shall be tested.
Verily He is the Tree of Life that bringeth forth the fruits of God, 
the Exalted, the Powerful, the Great.

O Ahmad! Bear thou witness 
that verily He is God and there is no God but Him,
 the King, the Protector, the Incomparable, the Omnipotent.
And that the One Whom He hath sent forth by the name of ‘Alí
was the true One from God, to Whose commands we are all conforming.

Say: O people be obedient to the ordinances of God, 
which have been enjoined in the Bayán 
by the Glorious, the Wise One.  
Verily He is the King of the Messengers 
and His book is the Mother Book did ye but know.

Thus doth the Nightingale utter His call unto you from this prison.
He hath but to deliver this clear message.
Whosoever desireth, let him turn aside from this counsel 
and whosoever desireth let him choose the path to his Lord.
O people, if ye deny these verses, 
by what proof have ye believed in God?  
Produce it, O assemblage of false ones.

Nay, by the One in Whose hand is my soul, 
they are not, and never shall be able to do this, 
even should they combine to assist one another.

O Ahmad! Forget not My bounties while I am absent.
Remember My days during thy days, 
and My distress and banishment in this remote prison.
And be thou so steadfast in My love that thy heart shall not waver, 
even if the swords of the enemies rain blows upon thee 
and all the heavens and the earth arise against thee.

Be thou as a flame of fire to My enemies 
and a river of life eternal to My loved ones, 
and be not of those who doubt.

And if thou art overtaken by affliction in My path, 
or degradation for My sake, be not thou troubled thereby.

Rely upon God, thy God and the Lord of thy fathers.
For the people are wandering in the paths of delusion, 
bereft of discernment to see God with their own eyes, 
or hear His Melody with their own ears.
Thus have We found them, 
as thou also dost witness.

Thus have their superstitions become veils 
between them and their own hearts 
and kept them from the path of God,
 the Exalted, the Great.

Be thou assured in thyself that verily, he who turns away from this 
Beauty hath also turned away from the Messengers of the past 
and showeth pride towards God from all eternity to all eternity.

Learn well this Tablet, O Ahmad.  
Chant it during thy days and withhold not thyself therefrom.  
For verily, God hath ordained for the one who chants it, 
the reward of a hundred martyrs and a service in both worlds.
These favors have We bestowed upon thee 
as a bounty on Our part and a mercy from Our presence,
 that thou mayest be of those who are grateful.

By God! Should one who is in affliction or grief 
read this Tablet with absolute sincerity, 
God will dispel his sadness, 
solve his difficulties 
and remove his afflictions.

Verily, He is the Merciful, the Compassionate. 
 Praise be to God, the Lord of all the worlds.

Tablet of Ahmad

There is no paradise more wondrous for any soul than to be exposed to God’s Manifestation in His Day, to hear His verses and believe in them, to attain His presence, which is naught but the presence of God, to sail upon the sea of the heavenly kingdom of His good-pleasure, and to partake of the choice fruits of the paradise of His divine Oneness. 
- The Báb
