SIOUX PRAYER REQUEST

Recently I read this request on a blog of a friend of mine. It helped me to find an activity to engage and help in this painfull toppic. Please experience and share the power of your prayer,  it's worth it!
    

***** A Great Urgency ******

****** To All World Religious and Spiritual Leaders ******

My Relatives,

Time has come to speak to the hearts of our Nations and their Leaders. 

I ask you this from the bottom of my heart, to come together from the Spirit of your Nations in prayer.

We, from the heart of Turtle Island, have a great message for the 

World; we are guided to speak from all the White Animals showing their 

sacred color, which have been signs for us to pray for the sacred life 

of all things. As I am sending this message to you, many Animal 

Nations are being threatened, those that swim, those that crawl, those 

that fly, and the plant Nations, eventually all will be affect from 

the oil disaster in the Gulf.

The dangers we are faced with at this time are not of spirit. The 

catastrophe that has happened with the oil spill which looks like the 

bleeding of Grandmother Earth, is made by human mistakes, mistakes 

that we cannot afford to continue to make.

I asked, as Spiritual Leaders, that we join together, united in prayer 

with the whole of our Global Communities. My concern is these serious 

issues will continue to worsen, as a domino effect that our Ancestors 

have warned us of in their Prophecies.

I know in my heart there are millions of people that feel our united 

prayers for the sake of our Grandmother Earth are long overdue. I 

believe we as Spiritual people must gather ourselves and focus our 

thoughts and prayers to allow the healing of the many wounds that have 

been inflicted on the Earth. As we honor the Cycle of Life, let us 

call for Prayer circles globally to assist in healing Grandmother 

Earth (our Unc’I Maka).

We ask for prayers that the oil spill, this bleeding, will stop. That 

the winds stay calm to assist in the work. Pray for the people to be 

guided in repairing this mistake, and that we may also seek to live in 

harmony, as we make the choice to change the destructive path we are on.

As we pray, we will fully understand that we are all connected. And 

that what we create can have lasting effects on all life.

So let us unite spiritually, All Nations, All Faiths, One Prayer. 

Along with this immediate effort, I also ask to please remember June 

21st, World Peace and Prayer Day/Honoring Sacred Sites day. Whether it 

is a natural site, a temple, a church, a synagogue or just your own 

sacred space, let us make a prayer for all life, for good decision 

making by our Nations, for our children’s future and well-being, and 

the generations to come.
