Prayers
O Lord, our Heavenly Father,
Thank you again for letting us live through another day.
Thank you for all the blessings you bestowed upon us.
Our Father who art in heaven,
Hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen.
Mt.6:9-13

O Great Spirit,
Whose Voice I hear in the winds
And whose Breath gives life to the world: hear me!
I come to you as one of your many children.
I am small and weak.
I need your strength and your wisdom.
May I walk in beauty.
Make my eyes ever behold the red and purple sunset.
Make my hands respect the things that you have made
And my ears sharp to hear your Voice.
Make me wise
So that I may know the things you have taught your children:
The lessons you've hidden in every leaf and rock.
Make me strong so that 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 straight eyes,
So that when life fades as the fading sunset,
My spirit may come to you without shame.
~~~~~~~~~
And make our days seem brighter.
May the Great Spirit watch over us
And keep us from harm.
Lord, use us as You will,
Helping ones in need
Wherever they may be.
Make us instruments of
Your mercy and everlasting peace.
Give us the strength and the wisdom
To use those most precious gifts
You've blessed each of us with, as You will.
For we ask it all in Jesus' blessed and most holy Name,
Amen.
~~~~~~~~~
Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Savior of the Universe,
Thank you for your guiding light and peaceful ways.
May the world reflect your lovingkindness and merciful deeds.
Keep me safe and secure in your eternal love and shelter.
Let me show generosity and good will unto all I meet,
Knowing that every human is in need of something.
Keep me whole in your loving arms.
Let your light shine through me,
Onto all I see.
I ask it all in Jesus' name,
Amen
~~~~~~~~~
Thank you Lord for everything!
