Cherokee Prayers

American Indian 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

[Eagle]

Cherokee Prayer Blessing

May the warm winds of heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your moccasins
Make happy tracks
In many snows,
And may the rainbow
Always touch your shoulder.
