Traditional Native American Prayer

[MajestyJo]

Great Spirit

Whose voice I hear in the winds
whose breath give life to all the world, hear me
I am small and weak, I need your 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 have taught my people
Let me learn the lesson you have hidden in every leaf and rock
I seek strengthnot to be greater than my brother
but to fight my greatest enemy --- myself
Make me always ready to come to you with clean
hands and straight eyes
So when life fades the fading sunset
my spirit may come to you without shame.
