Verily
Thou art the Omniscient, the Omnipotent, the Lord of power.
"Praised and glorified art Thou, O God! Grant that the ..."
Praised and glorified art Thou, O God! Grant that the day of attaining Thy
holy presence may be fast approaching. Cheer our hearts through the
potency of Thy love and good-pleasure and bestow upon us steadfastness
that we may willingly submit to Thy Will and Thy Decree. Verily Thy
knowledge embraceth all the things Thou hast created or wilt create and
Thy celestial might transcendeth whatsoever Thou hast called or wilt call
into being. There is none to be worshipped but Thee, there is none to be
desired except Thee, there is none to be adored besides Thee and there is
naught to be loved save Thy good-pleasure.
Verily Thou art the supreme Ruler, the Sovereign Truth, the Help in Peril,
the Self-Subsisting.
"Thou knowest full well, O my God, that tribulations ..."
Thou knowest full well, O my God, that tribulations have showered upon me
from all directions and that no one can dispel or transmute them except
Thee. I know of a certainty, by virtue of my love for Thee, that Thou wilt
never cause tribulations to befall any soul unless Thou desirest to exalt
his station in Thy celestial Paradise and to buttress his heart in this
earthly life with the bulwark of Thine all-compelling power, that it may
not become inclined toward the vanities of this world. Indeed Thou art
well aware that under all conditions I would cherish the remembrance of
Thee far more than the ownership of all that is in the heavens and on the
earth.
