O God my God! Thou seest me standing before the door of Thy
forgiveness and benevolence, turning my gaze toward the horizon of Thy bountiful
favours and manifold blessings. I beg of Thee by Thy sweet accents and by the
shrill voice of Thy Pen, O Lord of all mankind, to graciously aid Thy servants
as it befitteth Thy days and beseemeth the glory of Thy manifestation and Thy
majesty. Verily potent art Thou to do whatsoever Thou willest. All they that
dwell in the heavens and on the earth bear witness to Thy power and Thy might,
to Thy glory and Thy bounteousness. Praise be to Thee, O Lord of the worlds and
the Well-Beloved of the heart of every man of understanding!
Thou beholdest, O my God, the essence of poverty seeking the ocean of Thy wealth and the substance of
iniquity yearning for the waters of Thy forgiveness and Thy tender mercy. Grant
Thou, O my God, that which beseemeth Thy great glory and befitteth the
loftiness of Thy boundless grace. Thou art in truth the All-Bountiful, the Lord
of grace abounding, the Ordainer, the All-Wise. No God is there but Thee, the
Most Powerful, the All-Compelling, the Omnipotent.
- Baha’u’llah (From Lawh-i-
Dunya [Tablet of the World], ‘Tablets of Baha’u’llah Revealed after the
Kitab-i-Aqdas)
