Grandfather's Prayer for Today

GRANDFATHER’S PRAYER FOR TODAY
Great Spirit,Help me to see through my spiritual eyes, And realise I am looking through your eyes also.

"Everything on our dear Mother Earth is alive. Every rock, every plant, every animal, every tree, every bird, every thought is alive. This is true because everything is made and part of the Great Spirit and the Great Spirit is alive. We need to slow our lives down each day and realize, consciously, that this is a basic truth. We need to recognize this, and absorb it into the centre of our being. We need to appreciate it and give thanks for it. Then we can truly grow with it

In the Indian way, we are connected to that flower if we understand its spirit, the essence of its life." --Larry P. Aitken, CHIPPEWA

Grandfather's Prayer for Today


GRANDFATHER'S PRAYER FOR TODAY.
My Prayer to you today my Creator is that you help us all seek Peace and Justice in all our endeavours.

Nothing will work without Peace,
Peace only comes through work,
Work for peace and nothing becomes everything,
Never think that thoughts of peace are soft.
Thoughts of peace show an inner strength.
May thoughts of peace be your guiding light.
Peace comes from a sense of Justice for all.
All require peace but many are unable to know it.
Knowing comes from being at peace.
Peace is gentle, it is kind,
It is not just a state of mind.
Peace is not just an idle whim.
To be at peace one must go within,
To find the gentle waters that ebb and flow,
To find the warmth of your inner glow.
Thoughts of peace journey far,
They are felt beyond the farthest star.
They are felt by the grandfathers’
Who sit in circle in their sacred robes.
Around the ancient campfires is their abode!
They join with you and dance the dance,
And pray that we all
“Give Peace a Chance"
