Thou art He, O God, Who hath proclaimed Himself as the Lord
of Wealth, and characterized all that serve Him as poor and needy. Even as Thou
hast written: "O ye that believe! Ye are but paupers in need of God; but
God is the All-Possessing, the All-Praised." Having acknowledged my
poverty, and recognized Thy wealth, suffer me not to be deprived of the glory
of Thy riches. Thou art, verily, the Supreme Protector, the All-Knowing, the
All-Wise.
- Baha'u'llah (‘Gleanings from the Writings of Baha'u'llah’)
