A prayer by Baha’u’llah

My God, my Adored One, the All Bountiful, the Most Compassionate. Thou art that
King, before one of Whose Names all kings bow down in lowliness. O Thou Generous One, Thy
Bounty hath encompassed the world and Thy Mercy hath preceded all. I adjure Thee by Thine
Exalted Word and the Potency of Thy Supreme Pen, to enable this servant to fulfill that which is
worthy of Thy Days.
A stranger aspires to attain Thy Kingdom on High, and a seeker has set out for the ultimate
Goal. Assist him that he may arise to serve Thy Cause and to spread abroad Thy precepts and laws.
O Bountiful Lord, deprive not this poor one of the Ocean of Thy wealth and shelter this helpless
one beneath the canopy of Thy Mercy. Perhaps he will be revived by the fragrances of Thy
Revelations and attain to everlasting life. Thou art the Almighty and the Powerful and Thou art
the All Knowing and the All wise. There is no God but Thee, the Most Exalted, the Most High.
