CHAPTER 6: PRAYER
24/25

Thou art the Forgiving and Thou art the One Who overlookest the shortcomings of all mankind! -- 'ABDU'L-BAHA.
O Thou Almighty! I am a sinner, but Thou art the Forgiver! I am full of shortcomings, but Thou art the Compassionate! I am in darkness of error, but Thou art the Light of Pardon! Therefore, O Thou Benevolent God, forgive my sings, grant Thy Bestowals, overlook my faults, provide for me a shelter, immerse me in the Fountain of Thy Patience and heal me of all sickness and disease.
Purify and sanctify me.

Give me a portion from the outpouring of holiness, so that sorrow and sadness may vanish, joy and happiness descend, despondency and hopelessness be changed into cheerfulness and trustfulness, and courage take the place of fear.
Verily Thou art the Forgiver, the Compassionate, and Thou art the Generous, the Beloved! -- 'ABDU'L-BAHA.
O compassionate God! Thanks be to Thee for Thou hast awakened and made me conscious.

Thou hast given me a seeing eye and favored me with a hearing ear; hast led me to Thy Kingdom and guided me to Thy Path.

Thou hast shown me the right way and caused me to enter the Ark of Deliverance.

O God! Keep me steadfast and make me firm and staunch.
