Prayer - Spontaneous

The brief prayer which thou didst write at the close of thy letter was indeed original, touching and beautiful. Recite thou this prayer at all times.

‘Abdu’l-Bahá, Selections from the Writings of ‘Abdu’l-Bahá, p. 66

Of course prayer can be purely spontaneous, but many of the sentences and thoughts combined in Bahá’í writings of a devotional nature are easy to grasp, and the revealed Word is endowed with a power of its own.
