Oh, Great Spirit…
Oh, Great Spirit…….I stand proud and tall before you,
My feet planted firmly upon Mother Earth,
With my arms outstretched to fully embrace the Winds from the four directions.
I surrender to you, Great Spirit, All that I AM and all that I may become.
I give thanks for all that Mother Earth has provided.
I thank you: For the trees, that shelter us and keep us warm.
For the rocks, which give us a strong foundation on which to build upon.
For the water, which quenches our thirst and cleanses our Souls.
And for the animals, those who provide food for our tables and
for the ones who bring comfort to our hearts.
I give thanks to the Winds In The Four Direction:
To the East… for the Visions, that create the future.
To the South… for the children, that show us Joy.
To the West….for healing our hearts.
To the North…. For the wisdom of the ancestors who have gone before us.
I thank you for each season, which brings a healing to each and everyone of us.
But, most of all Great Spirit, I thank you for wrapping me in your loving embrace and for letting me know that I do not walk alone.
Help me to find “The Way”And to have the Strength, Courage, Wisdom, Understanding
And above all…. Love in all that comes my way.
I now claim Great Spirit.... All that I AM and all that I may become!
