Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! I yield Thee thanks for
having enabled me to recognize the Manifestation of Thyself, and for having
severed me from Thine enemies, and laid bare before mine eyes their misdeeds
and wicked works in Thy days, and for having rid me of all attachment to them,
and caused me to turn wholly towards Thy grace and bountiful favors. I give
Thee thanks, also, for having sent down upon me from the clouds of Thy will
that which hath so sanctified me from the hints of the infidels and the
allusions of the misbelievers that I have fixed my heart firmly on Thee, and
fled from such as have denied the light of Thy countenance. Again I thank Thee
for having empowered me to be steadfast in Thy love, and to speak forth Thy
praise and to extol Thy virtues, and for having given me to drink of the cup of
Thy mercy that hath surpassed all things visible and invisible.
Thou art the Almighty, the Most Exalted, the All-Glorious,
the All-Loving.
- Baha’u’llah (‘Prayers and Meditations by Baha’u’llah’)
