O My God And My Master! I Am Thy Servant And

Sources: Prayers And Meditations

O my God and my Master! I am Thy servant and the son of Thy servant. I

have risen from my couch at this dawn-tide when the Day-Star of Thy

oneness hath shone forth from the Day-Spring of Thy will, and hath shed

its radiance upon the whole world, according to what had been ordained in

the Books of Thy Decree.



Praise be unto Thee, O my God, that we have wakened to the splendors of

the light of Thy knowledge
Send down, then, upon us, O my Lord, what will

enable us to dispense with any one but Thee, and will rid us of all

attachment to aught except Thyself. Write down, moreover, for me, and for

such as are dear to me, and for my kindred, man and woman alike, the good

of this world and the world to come. Keep us safe, then, through Thine

unfailing protection, O Thou the Beloved of the entire creation and the

Desire of the whole universe, from them whom Thou hast made to be the

manifestations of the Evil Whisperer, who whisper in men's breasts. Potent

art Thou to do Thy pleasure. Thou art, verily, the Almighty, the Help in

Peril, the Self-Subsisting.



Bless Thou, O Lord my God, Him Whom Thou hast set over Thy most excellent

Titles, and through Whom Thou hast divided between the godly and the

wicked, and graciously aid us to do what Thou lovest and desirest. Bless

Thou, moreover, O my God, them Who are Thy Words and Thy Letters, and them

who have set their faces towards Thee, and turned unto Thy face, and

hearkened to Thy Call.



Thou art, truly, the Lord and King of all men, and art potent over all

things.
