The central purpose of the Baha’i House of Worship is for prayer and meditation. Therefore, a prayer list is maintained by the Temple’s staff.
You may add names to this list by either calling 847-853-2300, sending a message with the subject “prayer request” to how @ usbnc.org or filling out the form on the Contact Us page (select ‘Prayer Requests’ in the Category drop-down menu).
Names on the prayer list are kept confidential. Prayers are said daily for everyone on the list; names are kept on the list for at least two weeks.
Intone, O My servant, the verses of God that have been received by thee, as intoned by them who have drawn nigh unto Him, that the sweetness of thy melody may kindle thine own soul, and attract the hearts of all men. … Though he may, at first, remain unaware of its effect, yet the virtue of the grace vouchsafed unto him must needs sooner or later exercise its influence upon his soul. Thus have the mysteries of the Revelation of God been decreed by virtue of the Will of Him Who is the Source of power and wisdom.
