A Native American Prayer:
Oh, Great Spirit, Creator of all that is, whose breath moves through the wind, whose voice speaks through the waters, whose light rises with the Sun, and whose wisdom lives within the Earth- we come before You with humble hearts.
We give thanks on this sacred day for the breath within our bodies, for the Earth beneath our feet, for the waters that sustain us, for the fire that warms and transforms us, and for the winds that carry our prayers.
We honor those who walked before us—our ancestors, our grandmothers and grandfathers, the wisdom keepers, the healers, and all whose prayers prepared the path we now walk. May the good they carried continue through us.
