Here's a prayer for the future inspired by Native American spirituality:
Great Spirit,
Guardian of all creation,
We come before you with humble hearts,
Seeking guidance for the days to come.
We pray for a future filled with harmony,
Where all beings walk hand in hand,
In respect and understanding of one another,
Honoring the sacred web of life.
Grant us the wisdom to make choices,
That nourish the earth and its creatures,
So that future generations may thrive,
And inherit a world of beauty and abundance.
Guide our leaders to govern with integrity,
Making decisions that prioritize the well-being,
Of every person, every community, and every nation,
Balancing progress with preservation.
Help us heal the wounds of the past,
And build bridges of reconciliation,
Uniting us in the spirit of forgiveness,
So that together, we may move forward.
Grant us the courage to stand for justice,
To protect the rights of the oppressed,
And to ensure equality and dignity for all,
No matter their race, gender, or background.
May we walk gently upon the earth,
With gratitude for its bountiful gifts,
And may we always remember our connection,
To the land, the waters, and the skies above.
Great Spirit, we offer this prayer to you,
With hope and trust in the power of love,
May your blessings guide us into the future,
And may we walk together in peace and harmony.
Aho.
