IROQUOIS PRAYER

Oh Great Spirit, whose voice I hear in the winds
and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me.
I am a (human) before you, one of your many 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 sunsets.
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, Oh Creator, not to be superior to my brothers or others,
but to be able to fight my greatest enemy, myself.
Make me ever ready to come to you with clean hands and straight eye, so that when life fades, at the setting sunset,
my spirit may come to you without shame.
