Great Spirit, who dwells in all things,
We give thanks to You for the blessings of life.

May your sacred ways be honored and respected on earth,
As they are in the spirit world.

Provide us with the food we need for today,
And guide us on our path, so that we may walk in balance and harmony.

Forgive us when we falter and help us to forgive others.

Protect us from the temptations and troubles of the world,
And grant us the strength and courage to overcome them.

For You are the source of all power and beauty,
The Eternal Presence that guides us on our journey.

We offer these words with humble hearts and grateful minds,
And give thanks for Your blessings, now and always.

In the name of the Great Spirit, the Merciful Son, and the Holy Spirit. Aho.

The following is from the First Nations Version of the New Testament (FNV)*.

O Great Spirit, our Father from above,
we honor your name as sacred and holy.

Bring your good road to us,
where the beauty of your ways in the spirit-world above
is reflected in the earth below.

Provide for us day by day–
the elk, the buffalo, and the salmon.
The corn, the squash, and the wild rice.
All the things we need for each day.

Release us from the things we have done wrong,
in the same way we release others for the things done wrong to us.

Guide us away from the things that tempt us to stray from your good road,
and set us free from the evil one and his worthless ways.

Aho! May it be so!
