Make Me Fearless
Make me fearless like a jungle lion, like a roaring ocean, like an eagle in flight. Make me fearless like Mulla Husayn, like Tahirih, like ‘Abdu’l-Baha.

Source of Courage
To have courage means to stand-up for what is right and to defend those who need our help. It takes courage to go to unknown places, to face new situations, to do things that others before us have never done. We draw courage from our love for our Creator and our desire to please Him above all others. Sometime this means that we don’t follow what our friends are doing when we know it isn’t the right thing to do. Walk with courage and stand up bravely for what is right!
