Native American Prayer
By Chief Yellow Lark, Lakota Tribe
Every once in awhile we come across something so beautiful we just have to share it with you. This inspiring prayer to the Great Spirit crosses so many cultural and religious boundaries, speaking to the common humanity in each one of us.
Here is the prayer:
Oh Great Spirit,
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
hear me!
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
and my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand the
things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have hidden
in every leaf and rock.
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.
