"Let it be so".
Also means -- I agree with this prayer.
Cordially,

It literally means "So be it".
It is said at the end of a prayer to show that you agree with or comply with what was said in the prayer. For an example in the Bible, read Deuteronomy chapter 27, verses 15-26.
You may also find it interesting that Jesus is referred to as "the Amen" at least twice in the Bible (Revelation 3:14; 2 Corinthians 1:20). The reason for this is, that all of God's promises for the future have been made possible through Jesus Christ. In other words, it was through Jesus that God could say "so be it" to all the promises He has made. Jesus' sacrifice made those promises possible.

Tiberian Hebrew ×Ö¸×Öµ× ’ÄmÄn "So be it; truly",
Standard Hebrew ××× Amen,
Arabic Ø¢Ù
ÙÙ ’ÄmÄ«n,
Ge'ez' ’ÄmÄn
All this is a declaration of affirmation found in the Hebrew Bible and in the Qur'an.
It has always been in use within Judaism and Islam.
It has been generally adopted in Christian worship as a concluding ending for prayers and hymns.
In Islam, it is the standard ending to suras.
Our Common English translations of the word amen include: "Verily", "Truly", "So be it", and "Let it be".
Amen. Thy will be done, on earth as it heaven.
Can be read as :
( Truly, Verily, So be it, Your will be done, on earth as it Earth )
Amen. Peace to all

amen (interj.) Used at the end of a prayer or a statement to express assent or approval.
By saying 'amen' you are approving, and giving your indication that you want God to answer. If you don't approve, you'd best NOT say amen.

"So let it be written, so let it be done"
No ... dang it, I keep getting these scripture passages and song lyrics crossed in my short-circuiting brain.
Yeah, that's from a Metallica song.
But I swear it has some reference to the Bible. I just can't remember exactly where right now.
Oh no ... it's "Let it Be"
Dang it, that's the title of a Beatles' song and album.
I give up.

It means "So be it"... It's just as if you said "I agree" with the prayer.
