PRAYER

 

Oh Our Lord God

I breathe but for Thee,

and I stretch forth my spirit

towards Thee,

that I may recite Thy zikr abundantly,

commemorating Thee frequently.

Oh Our Lord God,

lay not upon me an ailment that may

make me forgetful to commorate Thee,

or lesson my yearning

towards Thee,

or cut of the delight I experience

in reciting the litanies of Thy praise.

Grant me not a health

that may engender or increase in me

presumtuous ot thankless insolence.

For Thy Mercy’s sake

Oh Thou, Most Merciful

of the Compassionate.

 

Amin.
