Reflections on the Life of the Spirit
Quote for Reflection:
These daily obligatory prayers, together with a few other specific ones, such as the Healing Prayer, the Tablet of Aḥmad, have been invested by Bahá’u’lláh with a special potency and significance, and should therefore be accepted as such and be recited by the believers with unquestioning faith and confidence, that through them they may enter into a much closer communion with God, and identify themselves more fully with His laws and precepts. — Shoghi Effendi 1

These prayers are special because they have been revealed by Bahá’u’lláh, the Founder of the Bahá’í Faith. Bahá’u’lláh is the Manifestation of God for this day and age, and His prayers are therefore infused with a special potency and significance.

If you are looking for prayers that have a special power, I encourage you to recite the prayers that Shoghi Effendi has mentioned. These prayers are a gift from God, and they can help us to grow spiritually and to live more meaningful and fulfilling lives.
