Great spirit prayer

Oh, Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the wind,

Whose breath gives life to all the world.

Hear me; 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.

Help me to remain calm and strong in the face of all that comes towards me.

Let me learn the lessons you have hidden in every leaf and rock.

Help me seek pure thoughts and act with the intention of helping others.

Help me find compassion without empathy overwhelming me.

I seek strength, not 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, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to you without shame.

This is one of the Native American prayers i found online. It is quite interesting when you analyze it

Here are a couple of Cherokee prayers....As I walk the trail of life
in the fear of the wind and rain,
grant O Great Spirit
that I may always walk
like a man

And my Favorite is..

O GREAT SPIRIT, help me always to speak the TRUTH quietly, to LISTEN with an OPEN MIND, and to remember the PEACE that may be found in SILENCE
