O Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world -hear me- I come before you, one of your children. 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, my ears sharp to hear your voice. Make me wise, so that I may know the things you have taught my People. The lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock. I seek strength not to be superior to my brothers, but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself. Make me ever ready to come to you, with clean hands and straight eyes, so when life fades as a fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame. Author Unknown
Great Spirit Prayer Great Spirit, Great Spirit, My Grandfather, All over the earth the faces of living things are all alike. . . Look upon these faces of children without number And with children in their arms, That they may face the winds and Walk the good road to the day of quiet. . . There is no death. . . Only a change of worlds. . . Only a change of worlds. Author Unknown
Oh Great Spirit of our Ancestors, I raise my pipe to you. To your messengers the four winds, and to Mother Earth who provides for your children. Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect, and to be kind to each other so that they may grow with peace of mind Let us learn to share all good things that you provide for us on this Earth.
