Bahá’í Prayers

Forgiveness

Currently reading prayer in Nederlands. Return to English.

Ik ben degeen, o mijn Heer, die zijn gelaat naar U heeft gekeerd en zijn hoop heeft gevestigd op de wonderen van Uw genade en de openbaringen van Uw milddadigheid. Ik bid U dat Gij mij niet teleurgesteld van de deur van Uw erbarmen laat weggaan, noch mij overlevert aan diegenen onder Uw schepselen die Uw Zaak hebben verworpen.

Ik ben Uw dienaar, o mijn God, en de zoon van Uw dienaar. Ik erken Uw waarheid in Uw dagen, en richt mijn schreden naar de kust van Uw één-zijn, ik belijd Uw enig-zijn, erken Uw eenheid en hoop op Uw vergeving en gratie. Krachtig zijt Gij te doen hetgeen gij wilt; geen God is er buiten U, de Allerheerlijkste, de Immervergevende.
