Great Spirit, Almighty Healer and Creator of all things, it is with a humbled heart that we unite together to send up many thanks. We thank you for the mysteries in the Universe that surrounds us. We thank you for the many things you have created here on Mother Earth that we may not see, that serve many purposes. We thank you for the wisdom and the strong spirit found in our hearts that connects us to all things. We thank you for the many visions you have sent to us. May we learn to remember and decipher them correctly. We thank you for our ancestors that continue to supply us with the wisdom of the old ways. We thank you for each new day and the precious gift of life.

We ask for forgiveness when we have not listened or obeyed your words. We ask for guidance, strength and courage to move forward and defend the defenseless and begin to repair the damage we have done. We have exploited your creation simply for our own ends, distorted our knowledge and have abused our power. We ask for guidance and patience to clean the debris of satellites that surround our Earth Mother, the air we breathe, the waters we drink, and the land we inhabit. We ask for strength, guidance and courage to stand against those that have taken at will and have not replenished. We ask for continued healing for those that are suffering through diverse diseases, disorders and ailments. For those that may have passed on into the Spirit World, we ask for comfort and peace be given to their family members. We ask for guidance, strength and comfort for those have come into the company of their ancestors. May we return to the old ways where we were better caretakers of your creation. We ask for hardened hearts to soften and closed eyes to see what we must do to repair the damage we have done to our Earth Mother. We ask for an end to the hatred, racism, greed and lust of power and materialism that can be found across the four corners. We ask for freedom for those that have been imprisoned without cause, and for those that have been taken from their homes. We ask for protection for our women and children enduring violence and abuse. We ask for an end to the violence and control that seeks to divide us. We are in turmoil, Father, and ask for an era of peace in a world that is weary of war and ask for the return of our children. We ask for your divine intervention to prevent any more bloodshed. We ask for your judgment against those that hold no value to the life you have blessed us with.

We thank you for the trees that give us air to breathe, the many herbs and plants to cure ailments and diseases, and the waters that flow from the mountaintops to hydrate our bodies. We thank you for our Elders that bring us the necessary wisdom and lessons to aid us along our journey. We thank you for our children that will one day take these and build upon them for future generations. We thank you for the many trials that strengthen our spirits. We thank you for our relations found across the great waters that join us as prophesies of the ancients begin to unfold. May your blessings be upon them. Emenv
