Lord! These are servants that have remained fast and firm in Thy Covenant
and Thy Testament, that have held fast unto the cord of constancy in Thy
Cause and clung unto the hem of the robe of Thy grandeur. Assist them, O
Lord, with Thy grace, confirm with Thy power and strengthen their loins in
obedience to Thee.
Thou art the Pardoner, the Gracious.
--'Abdu'l-Baha
"O compassionate God! Thanks be to Thee for..."
O compassionate God! Thanks be to Thee for Thou hast awakened and made me
conscious. Thou hast given me a seeing eye and favored me with a hearing
ear, hast led me to Thy kingdom and guided me to Thy path. Thou hast shown
me the right way and caused me to enter the ark of deliverance. O God!
Keep me steadfast and make me firm and staunch. Protect me from violent
tests, and preserve and shelter me in the strongly fortified fortress of
Thy Covenant and Testament. Thou art the Powerful. Thou art the Seeing.
Thou art the Hearing.
O Thou the Compassionate God. Bestow upon me a heart which, like unto
glass, may be illumined with the light of Thy love, and confer upon me
thoughts which may change this world into a rose garden through the
outpourings of heavenly grace.
