Na ‘Abdu’l-Bahá

O Thou pure and omnipotent God! O

Thou my kind Lord! Grant me such

power as to enable me to withstand the

onslaught of the peoples and kindreds

of the world, and give me such might

as to cause the waves of my endeavors,

like unto the Pacific Ocean, to reach the

shores of both East and West.

—‘Abdu’l-Bahá
