O God, my God! I have set out from my home, holding fast
unto the cord of Thy love, and I have committed myself wholly to Thy care and
Thy protection. I entreat Thee by Thy power through which Thou didst protect
Thy loved ones from the wayward and the perverse, and from every contumacious
oppressor, and every wicked doer who hath strayed far from Thee, to keep me
safe by Thy bounty and Thy grace. Enable me, then, to return to my home by Thy
power and Thy might. Thou art, truly, the Almighty, the Help in Peril, the
Self-Subsisting.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
