Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! I bear witness that from
eternity Thou wert exalted in Thy transcendent majesty and might, and wilt to
eternity abide in Thy surpassing power and glory. None in the kingdoms of earth
and heaven can frustrate Thy purpose; none throughout the realms of revelation
and of creation can prevail against Thee. At Thy command Thou doest what Thou
willest, and by the power of Thy sovereignty Thou rulest as Thou pleasest.
(Baha’u’llah,
‘Prayers and Meditations of Baha’u’llah’)
