Oh Great Spirit, hear my prayer,
As I read the sacred words of John chapter 17,
I am reminded of the prayer that Creator Sets Free spoke,
For His disciples and for all who would come to believe.
He prayed that we would be one,
As he and You the Father are one,
That we would be united in love and in spirit,
And that we would bear witness to His truth.
Great Spirit, help us to remember these words,
And to strive for unity and harmony,
Among all people, regardless of race, tribe or tongue,
So that we may be a reflection of Your divine love.
May we be guided by Your wisdom and Your grace,
And may we walk in the footsteps of Creator Sets Free,
Spreading His Good Message of hope and salvation,
To all who are lost and in need of Your love.
May our hearts be filled with compassion and kindness,
And may we work together as one,
To bring about a world of peace and justice,
Where all people are valued and respected.
Great Spirit, we pray for the strength to carry out Your will,
And to be true disciples of Your love.
In the name of the Great Spirit, the Merciful Son, and the Holy Spirit. Aho.

Oh Great Spirit, hear my prayer,
As I read the sacred words of John 17,
I am reminded of the unity that we share,
As Your children, created in Your image.
Creator Sets Free prayed that we would be one,
As He and You are one,
Bound together in a holy covenant,
Of love, compassion, and forgiveness.
May we walk in that same spirit of unity,
Embracing our differences as a beautiful tapestry,
Woven together by Your hands,
And reflecting the diversity of Your creation.
May we be one in heart and mind,
Seeking first Your reign and your righteousness,
And living lives that honor Your name,
As we bring Your light and love to all tribes and peoples.
May we be one in purpose and mission,
Sharing the good news of Your salvation,
And working together to bring about Your kingdom,
Of justice, peace, and reconciliation.
Great Spirit, bless us with Your spirit of unity,
And guide us on the path of righteousness,
So that we may be one, as You are one,
And bear witness to Your love and Your truth.
In the name of the Great Spirit, the Merciful Son, and the Holy Spirit. Aho.
