Do not bring our fasts to an end with this fast, O my Lord,
nor the covenants Thou hast made with this covenant. Do Thou accept all that we
have done for love of Thee, and for the sake of Thy pleasure, and all that we
have left undone as a result of our subjection to our evil and corrupt desires.
Enable us, then, to cleave steadfastly to Thy love and Thy good-pleasure, and
preserve us from the mischief of such as have denied Thee and repudiated Thy
most resplendent signs. Thou art, in truth, the Lord of this world and of the
next. No God is there beside Thee, the Exalted, the Most High.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
