A prayer you might find useful

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

This is one of the prayers from my Sufi Order. I thought it appropriate to post it here at this time, as many of you may find it useful:


Du'aa
Save me, my Lord, from the earthy passions
and the attachments which blind mankind.
Save me, my Lord, from the temptations
of power, fame, and wealth,
which keep man away
from Thy Glorious Vision.
Save me, my Lord, from the souls who are constantly
occupied in hurting and harming their fellow-man, and
who take pleasure in the pain of another.
Save me, my Lord, from the evil eye of envy and jealousy,
which falleth upon Thy bountiful Gifts.
Save me, my Lord, from falling into the hands
of the playful children of earth,
lest they might use me in their games;
they might play with me and then break me in the end,
as children destroy their toys.
Save me, my Lord, from all manner of injury
that cometh from the bitterness of my adversaries and
from the ignorance of my loving friends.
Amen.
