Cherokee Prayer - Blessing Way
O Great One, I come before you in a humble manner,
giving thanks for all living things in Creation.
I offer the clarity of my mind, body, spirit and
natural space in prayer to you, O Great One, for
the spirit of all Creation.
I offer thanks and what gifts I have to
Four Sacred Directions and powers of the
universe and I pray:
To the spirit of fire in the East,
To the spirit of Earth in the South,
To the spirit of Water in the West,
To the Spirit of Wind in the North.
I pray and give thanks to you O Great One.
I pray and give thanks to Mother Earth, Father Sky, Grandfather Sun,
Grandmother Moon, and all of our relations in the Greater Circle of Life.
I thank you for your power, energy, wisdom and sacred gifts, because
without you and the guidance of all my relations, I would not be able
to live, and love, and grow, and feel and learn.
I ask that I be shown another way if I have ever harmed or hurt other
living things.
I pray, offering what gifts I have, that you may guide us, heal us,
purify us, and protect us.
I pray for all of our relations that we may exist together in harmony
and balance.
