Prayer to the Great Spirit - Indian Prayer for Peace.

Oh, Great Spirit who dwells in the sky,
Lead us to the path of peace and understanding.
Let all of us live together as brothers and sisters.
Our lives are so short here,
Walking upon Mother Earth's surface.
Let our eyes be opened to all the blessings you have given us.
Please hear my prayers, Oh, Great Spirit.

Oh, Great Spirit
Whose voice I hear in the winds,
And whose breath gives life to all the world,
Hear me! 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
And my ears sharp to hear your voice.
Make me wise so that I may understand
The things you have taught my people.
Let me learn the lessons you have
Hidden in every leaf and rock.

I seek strength, not to be greater than my brother,
But to fight my greatest enemy myself.
Make me always ready to come to you
With clean hands and straight eyes,
So when life fades, as the fading sunset,
My Spirit may come to you without shame.
All my Relations!

The above is a version of Chief Yellow Lark's prayer, however the following is the original prayer written by Chief Yellow Lark.

Whose voice I hear in the winds, and whose breath gives life to all the world, hear me.
I am a man before You, one of Your many 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.
Made 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.

- Prayer to the Yellow Lark, Chief indian Sioux. [1887]
O Grande Spirito, la cui voce sento nei venti ed il cui respiro dà vita a tutto il mondo, ascoltami.
Vengo davanti a Te, uno dei tuoi tanti figli. Sono piccolo e debole. Ho bisogno della tua forza e della tua saggezza.
Lasciami camminare tra le cose belle e fà che i miei occhi ammirino il tramonto rosso e oro. Fà che le mie mani rispettino ciò che Tu hai creato, e le mie orecchie siano acute nell'udire la Tua voce.
Fammi saggio, così che io conosca le lezioni che hai nascosto in ogni foglia, in ogni roccia.
Cerco forza, non per essere superiore ai miei fratelli, ma per essere abile a combattere il mio più grande nemico: me stesso.
Fà che io sia sempre pronto a venire da Te, con mani pulite ed occhi diritti, così che quando la vita svanisce, come la luce al tramonto, il mio spirito possa venire a te senza vergogna.

- Preghiera di Yellow Lark, capo indiano Sioux. [1887]
