Native American Prayer

                               The Native American Prayer

Oh 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 lesson 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.

            Yellow Hawk, Sioux Chief
