A Morning 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 golden sunset.
Make my hands respect the things You have made
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 to 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 heart, mind, body, and soul.
So when life fades, as the fading sunset, my spirit may come to You without shame.
In your wisdom I pray that You may guide me.
I Honour You and Your Celestial Clan.
I accept whatever fate and destiny which befalls me as a gift of Your wisdom.
I beseech You in humility,
Oh Great Spirit!
