Planning to implement teachings
Think every night of which teachings of Bahá'u'lláh to put into one's daily life the next day (and then thank God if confirmed)[edit]
"...it is my hope that you may practice the Teachings of BAHA'O'LLAH and live and act according to those principles. Teachings are revealed for the sake of practice and not for the sake of hearing or listening only. When man listens to certain teachings he must live them. To listen to the teachings is very easy, but it is to bring them into our daily lives.
"It is easy to expound one thousand letters of teachings. It is still easier to listen to them, but it is difficult to put into practice one of them. Teachings are like an image reflected into a mirror. If these images find outward expression, wonderful results will be the outcome, but if they are only images in the mirror they remain valueless.
...
"First, souls practice the teachings. These souls become the realization of the heaven of God; they illuminate the realm of man. Now it is my hope that you may become a perfect mirror reflecting the teachings of BAHA'O'LLAH; not only in the mirror, but finding outward expression. Every night, may you think, 'Which one of the teachings of BAHA'O'LLAH shall I put into my daily life tomorrow?' Should you become assisted in the practice of one of the teachings of the Blessed Perfection, thank God for it a thousand times,—that you have become helped and confirmed in that service."
