Sources: Prayers And Meditations

My God, the Object of my adoration, the Goal of my desire, the

All-Bountiful, the Most Compassionate! All life is of Thee and all power

lieth within the grasp of Thine omnipotence. Whosoever Thou exaltest is

raised above the angels, and attaineth the station: Verily, We uplifted

him to a place on high!; and whosoever Thou dost abase is made lower than

dust, nay, less than nothing.



O Divine Providence! Tho gh wicked, sinful, and intemperate, we still seek

from Thee a seat of truth, and long to behold the countenance of the

Omnipotent King. It is Thine to command, and all sovereignty belongeth to

Thee, and the realm of might boweth before Thy behest. Everything Thou

doest is pure justice, nay, the very essence of grace. One gleam from the

splendors of Thy Name, the All-Merciful, sufficeth to banish and blot out

every trace of sinfulness from the world, and a single breath from the

breezes of the Day of Thy Revelation is enough to adorn all mankind with a

fresh attire.



Vouchsafe Thy strength, O Almighty One, unto Thy weak creatures, and

quicken them who are as dead, that haply they may find Thee, and may be

led unto the ocean of Thy guidance, and may remain steadfast in Thy Cause.

Should the fragrance of Thy praise be shed abroad by any of the divers

tongues of the world, out of the East or out of the West, it would,

verily, be prized and greatly cherished. If such tongues, however, be

deprived of that fragrance, they assuredly would be unworthy of any

mention, be they words or thoughts.



We beg of Thee, O Providence, to show Thy way unto all men, and to guide

them aright. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Most Powerful, the

All-Knowing, the All-Seeing.
