Let Me Walk In Beauty
O Great Spirit
Whose voice speaks in the winds,
and in the trees
whose breath gives life to all the world.
Listen to your creature!
Hear me!
I am small and weak.
I need Your power.
I need Your wisdom.
Let me walk in beauty,
and let my eyes be glad
beholding the red and purple dawn.
Make my hands touch all things
You have made
with love,
and help my ears to hear Your voice
in everything.
Make me wise
that I may understand
the sacred teachings
You have taught;
Help me learn the lessons hidden
in every leaf and every stone.
O Wakan-Tanka,
I need power
not to be greater than my relations
but to conquer the enemy in myself.
Make me ready to come to You always
with a pure heart
and with clear eyes,
So when the time comes for my life to fade away,
as the sunset fades,
So may my spirit come to You
with honor and without shame.
–From a traditional Native American prayer
Quaerite Et Invenietis “Seek and you will find”
“There is nothing hidden that will not be revealed”
May God bless and protect you and…
May you always be
Healthy, Happy
Safe and Comfortable
