Prayers And Meditations
Lauded be Thy name, O Thou in Whose hands is the kingdom of all names, and
in the grasp of Whose might are all that are in heaven and all that are on
earth! I entreat Thee, by Him Who is Thy Most Effulgent Name Whom Thou
hast made a target for the darts of Thy decree in Thy path, O Thou the
King of eternity, to rend asunder the veils that have shut off Thy
creatures from the horizon of Thy glory, that haply they may turn their
faces in the direction of Thy mercy, and draw nigh unto the Day-Spring of
Thy loving-kindness.
Leave not Thy servants to themselves, O my Lord! Draw them through the
influence of Thine utterances unto the Dawning-Place of Thine inspiration,
and to the Fountain of Thy Revelation, and to the Treasury of Thy wisdom.
Thou art He to Whose strength and power all things have testified, Whose
Purpose nothing whatsoever of all that hath been created in Thy heaven and
on Thy earth hath been able to frustrate.
Render, then, victorious, O my God, Thy servants who have set their faces
towards Thee, and directed their steps to the seat of Thy grace. Send
down, then, upon them what will keep them safe from the danger of turning
to any one but Thee, and from fixing their eyes upon aught else except
Thyself.
Potent art Thou to do what Thou willest, and to rule as Thou pleasest.
There is no God but Thee, the God of glory and wisdom.
