My God, Whom I Worship And Adore! I Bear Witness
Sources: Prayers And MeditationsMy God, Whom I worship and adore! I bear witness unto Thy unity and Thy
oneness, and acknowledge Thy gifts, both in the past and in the present.
Thou art the All-Bountiful, the overflowing showers of Whose mercy have
rained down upon high and low alike, and the splendors of Whose grace have
been shed over both the obedient and the rebellious.
O God of mercy, before Whose door the quintessence of mercy hath bowed
down, and round the sanctuary of Whose Cause loving-kindness, in its
inmost spirit, hath circled, we beseech Thee, entreating Thine ancient
grace, and seeking Thy present favor, that Thou mayest have mercy upon all
who are the manifestations of the world of being, and to deny them not the
outpourings of Thy grace in Thy days.
All are but poor and needy, and Thou, verily, art the All-Possessing, the
All-Subduing, the All-Powerful.
