A Native American Prayer
Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the winds,and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me! I am small and weak. I need you strength and wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty, and make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things you have made and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the things you taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.
I seek strength, not to be better than my brother, but to fight with my greatest enemy - myself.
Make me always ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eyes so that when life fades as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.
