Verily, Thou art the Omnipotent, and the Almighty!
--'Abdu'l-Baha
MORNING
"O my God and my Master! I am Thy servant..."
O my God and my Master! I am Thy servant and the son of Thy servant. I
have risen from my couch at this dawntide when the Daystar of Thy oneness
hath shone forth from the Dayspring 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 anyone 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.
