+ Great Spirit Prayer (Native American)

Oh Great Spirit whose voice I hear on 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 let 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

+ Prayer of St Francis of Assisi

Lord, make me an instrument of your peace;
Where there is hatred, let me sow love;
When there is injury, pardon;
Where there is doubt, faith;
Where there is despair, hope;
Where there is darkness, light;
and where there is sadness, joy.
Grant that I may not so much seek
to be consoled as to console;
to be understood, as to understand,
to be loved as to love;
for it is in giving that we receive,
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

+ Prayer to Start the Day

Let me pause as I begin this new day to give it to You, Infinite Spirit
Before the tumult of activities breaks in;
Before breakfast plates crash through my still sleepy mind;
For this last moment in my bed, thank you.

Let me hold Your promise of new life.
Keep me from slipping back for I know that what is forgiven is as if it never were.
Each new day,
Your grace gives me a fresh start to walk in Your light again.

May we be supported all the day long,
’till the shades lengthen and the evening comes,
And the busy world is hushed,
And the fever of life is over,
And our work is done.
Then, in mercy may we be given safe lodging, a holy rest,
and peace at the last.

+ Blessing for a Happy Home

Thanks to Julie Ditta

May this your shelter your life,
So the weight of the world falls from your shoulders
Making your heart be tranquil,

May this home be a lucky place
And may grace find the pathway to your door and into your life

May your home be safe
Full of understanding and acceptance,
Where you can be as you are,
Without the need of any mask

May this home be a place of discovery,
Where the possibilities that sleep
In the clay of your soul emerge
To deepen and refine your vision

May it be a place of courage, healing, growth and Love
Where dignity and forgiveness prevail
A home where patience of spirit is cherished,

May there be great delight around this hearth,
May it be a home of welcome,
May you have eyes to see
That no visitor arrives without a gift
And no guest leaves without a blessing.

+ Blessing for the Land

Reminding us that we too have a responsibility to the land, and to the circle of life.

May the winds grow calm.
May the rains come softly.
May the land heal, and may we learn from its teaching.
For the old ones told us — life is strong. And as long as we keep the circle of respect, we too shall endure, with the canyon, with the rivers, with all that still sings.

May you be surrounded and encircled, with the protection of the nine elements.

+ The Affirmation of the Disciple – Short Version

through the writings of Alice Ann Bailey

I am a point of light within a greater light.
I am a strand of loving energy within the stream of love divine.
I am a spark of sacrificial fire, focused within the fiery will of God.
And thus, I stand

I am a way by which men may achieve.
I am a source of strength enabling them to stand.
I am a beam of light, shining upon their way.
And thus I stand.

And standing thus, revolve and treat this way, the ways of men
And know the ways of God.
And thus I stand.
