My God, Whom I worship and adore! I bear witness unto Thy
unity and Thy oneness, and acknowledge Thy gifts, both in the past and in the
present. Thou art the All-Bountiful, the overflowing showers of Whose mercy
have rained down upon high and low alike, and the splendors of Whose grace have
been shed over both the obedient and the rebellious.
O God of mercy, before Whose door the quintessence of mercy
hath bowed down, and round the sanctuary of Whose Cause loving-kindness, in its
inmost spirit, hath circled, we beseech Thee, entreating Thine ancient grace,
and seeking Thy present favor, that Thou mayest have mercy upon all who are the
manifestations of the world of being, and to deny them not the outpourings of
Thy grace in Thy days.
All are but poor and needy, and Thou, verily, art the
All-Possessing, the All-Subduing, the All-Powerful.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and
Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
