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 you without shame ancestors came to America from Germany, England, Ireland, Scotland and France, Greece, Israel,  Norway, Demark and Holland.. and some lived in America long before my other Ancestors arrived, The  Native American
