Thou Art He, O My God, Through Whose Names

Sources: Prayers And Meditations

Thou art He, O my God, through Whose names the sick are healed and the

ailing are restored, and the thirsty are given drink, and the sore-vexed

are tranquillized, and the wayward are guided, and the abased are exalted,

and the poor are enriched, and the ignorant are enlightened, and the

gloomy are illumined, and the sorrowful are cheered, and the chilled are

warmed, and the downtrodden are raised up. Through Thy name, O my God, all br />
created things were stirred up, and the heavens were spread, and the earth

was established, and the clouds were raised and made to rain upon the

earth. This, verily, is a token of Thy grace unto all Thy creatures.



I implore Thee, therefore, by Thy name through which Thou didst manifest

Thy Godhead, and didst exalt Thy Cause above all creation, and by each of

Thy most excellent titles and most august attributes, and by all the

virtues wherewith Thy transcendent and most exalted Being is extolled, to

send down this night from the clouds of Thy mercy the rains of Thy healing

upon this suckling, whom Thou hast related unto Thine all-glorious Self in

the kingdom of Thy creation. Clothe him, then, O my God, by Thy grace,

with the robe of well-being and health, and guard him, O my Beloved, from

every affliction and disorder, and from whatever is obnoxious unto Thee.

Thy might, verily, is equal to all things. Thou, in truth, art the Most

Powerful, the Self-Subsisting. Send down, moreover, upon him, O my God,

the good of this world and of the next, and the good of the former and

latter generations. Thy might and Thy wisdom are, verily, equal unto this.
