[Bahai Writings @BahaiWritings]

I am poor, O my Lord, and Thou art the Rich. I have set my face towards Thee, and detached myself from all but Thee. Deprive me not, I implore Thee, of the breezes of Thy tender mercy, and withhold not from me what Thou didst ordain for the chosen among Thy servants.-B, #Bahai

[Bahai Writings @BahaiWritings]

#Praise be unto Thee, O my God! I am one of Thy servants, who hath believed on Thee and on Thy signs. Thou seest how I have set myself towards the door of Thy mercy, and turned my face in the direction of Thy loving-kindness. Baha’u’llah, #Bahá’í

Attire, O my Lord, both my inner& outer being with the raiment of Thy favors&Thy loving-kindness.Keep me safe, then, from whatsoever may be abhorrent unto Thee, & graciously assist me & my kindred to obey Thee,& to shun whatsoever may stir up any evil or corrupt desire within me.
