Dispel My Grief By Thy Bounty And Thy Generosity,

Sources: Prayers And Meditations

Dispel my grief by Thy bounty and Thy generosity, O God, my God, and

banish mine anguish through Thy sovereignty and Thy might. Thou seest me,

O my God, with my face set towards Thee at a time when sorrows have

compassed me on every side. I implore Thee, O Thou Who art the Lord of all

being, and overshadowest all things visible and invisible, by Thy Name

whereby Thou hast subdued the hearts and the souls of men, and by the
/> billows of the Ocean of Thy mercy and the splendors of the Day-Star of Thy

bounty, to number me with them whom nothing whatsoever hath deterred from

setting their faces toward Thee, O Thou Lord of all names and Maker of the

heavens!



Thou beholdest, O my Lord, the things which have befallen me in Thy days.

I entreat Thee, by Him Who is the Day-Spring of Thy names and the

Dawning-Place of Thine attributes, to ordain for me what will enable me to

arise to serve Thee and to extol Thy virtues. Thou art, verily, the

Almighty, the Most Powerful, Who art wont to answer the prayers of all

men!



And, finally, I beg of Thee by the light of Thy countenance to bless my

affairs, and redeem my debts, and satisfy my needs. Thou art He to Whose

power and to Whose dominion every tongue hath testified, and Whose majesty

and Whose sovereignty every understanding heart hath acknowledged. No God

is there but Thee, Who hearest and art ready to answer.
