Amish Prayer
Strengthen me, Lord, with your spirit and your might, and give me a
strong, firm faith, so I might say to you:
My confidence, my God in whom I hope to save me. Let your wisdom be my shield.
O Lord, help me, for I desire you. Protect me, for I acknowledge your name. O Lord, I call on you, so hear me. Be with me in trouble, rescue me with your almighty hand, and show me eternal salvation in Jesus Christ, our dear Savior. Amen.
(from Amish Prayers, compiled by Beverly Lewis, page 35.

Aho Mitakuye Oyasin... All
my relations. I honor you in this circle of life with me today. I am
grateful for this opportunity to acknowledge you in this prayer...
To the Creator, for the ultimate gift of life, I thank you.Aho Mitakuye Oyasin is a simple yet profound statement. It comes from the Lakota Nation and means all my relations. It is spoken during prayer and ceremony to invite and acknowledge all relatives to the moment.
To the mineral nation that has built and maintained my bones and all foundations of life experience, I thank you.
To the plant nation that sustains my organs and body and gives me healing herbs for sickness, I thank you.
To the animal nation that feeds me from your own flesh and offers your loyal companionship in this walk of life, I thank you.
To the human nation that shares my path as a soul upon the sacred wheel of Earthly life, I thank you.
To the Spirit nation that guides me invisibly through the ups and downs of life and for carrying the torch of light through the Ages. I thank you.
To the Four Winds of Change and Growth, I thank you.
You are all my relations, my relatives, without whom I would not live. We are in the circle of life together, co-existing, co-dependent, co-creating our destiny. One, not more important than the other. One nation evolving from the other and yet each dependent upon the one above and the one below. All of us a part of the Great Mystery.
Thank you for this Life.
