O God, my God! I beg of Thee by the ocean of Thy healing,
and by the splendors of the Day-Star of Thy grace, and by Thy Name through
which Thou didst subdue Thy servants, and by the pervasive power of Thy most
exalted Word and the potency of Thy most august Pen, and by Thy mercy that hath
preceded the creation of all who are in heaven and on earth, to purge me with
the waters of Thy bounty from every affliction and disorder, and from all
weakness and feebleness.
Thou seest, O my Lord, Thy suppliant waiting at the door of
Thy bounty, and him who hath set his hopes on Thee clinging to the cord of Thy
generosity. Deny him not, I beseech Thee, the things he seeketh from the ocean
of Thy grace and the Day-Star of Thy loving-kindness.
Powerful art Thou to do what pleaseth Thee. There is none
other God save Thee, the Ever-Forgiving, the Most Generous.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
