Glorified art Thou, O my God! I implore Thee by the
Dawning-Place of Thy signs and by the Revealer of Thy clear tokens to grant
that I may, under all conditions, hold fast the cord of Thy loving providence
and cling tenaciously to the hem of Thy generosity. Reckon me then with those
whom the changes and chances of the world have failed to deter from serving
Thee and from bearing allegiance unto Thee, whom the onslaught of the people
hath been powerless to hinder from magnifying Thy Name and celebrating Thy
praise. Graciously assist me, O my Lord, to do whatever Thou lovest and desirest.
Enable me then to fulfil that which will exalt Thy Name and will set ablaze the
fire of Thy love. Thou art, in truth, the Forgiving, the Bountiful.
- Baha’u’llah ('Tablets of Baha’u’llah revealed after the Kitab-i-Aqdas’)
