Unto Thee be praise, O Lord my God! I
beseech Thee by Thy Most Great Name Who hath been shut up in the prison-town of
Akká, and Who—as Thou beholdest, O my God—hath fallen into the hands of His
enemies, and is threatened by the swords of the wicked doers, to make me
steadfast in His Cause, and to direct mine eyes continually towards His court,
in such wise that nothing whatsoever will have the power to turn me back from
Him.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
