Glorified art Thou, O Lord my God! Every
man of insight confesseth Thy sovereignty
and Thy dominion, and every discerning eye
perceiveth the greatness of Thy majesty and the
compelling power of Thy might. The winds of
tests are powerless to hold back them that enjoy
near access to Thee from setting their faces towards
the horizon of Thy glory, and the tempests
of trials must fail to draw away and hinder such as
are wholly devoted to Thy will from approaching
Thy court.

Methinks, the lamp of Thy love is burning in
their hearts, and the light of Thy tenderness is lit
within their breasts. Adversities are incapable of
estranging them from Thy Cause, and the vicissitudes
of fortune can never cause them to stray
from Thy pleasure.

3 |
I beseech Thee, O my God, by them and by the
sighs which their hearts utter in their separation
from Thee, to keep them safe from the mischief of
Thine adversaries, and to nourish their souls with
what Thou hast ordained for Thy loved ones on
whom shall come no fear and who shall not be put
to grief.
- Bahá'u'lláh
