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

Oh Great Spirit, hear my prayer,
\nAs I read the sacred words of John 17,
\nI am reminded of the unity that we share,
\nAs Your children, created in Your image.<\/p>\n
Creator Sets Free prayed that we would be one,
\nAs He and You are one,
\nBound together in a holy covenant,
\nOf love, compassion, and forgiveness.<\/p>\n
May we walk in that same spirit of unity,
\nEmbracing our differences as a beautiful tapestry,
\nWoven together by Your hands,
\nAnd reflecting the diversity of Your creation.<\/p>\n
May we be one in heart and mind,
\nSeeking first Your reign and your righteousness,
\nAnd living lives that honor Your name,
\nAs we bring Your light and love to all tribes and peoples.<\/p>\n
May we be one in purpose and mission,
\nSharing the good news of Your salvation,
\nAnd working together to bring about Your kingdom,
\nOf justice, peace, and reconciliation.<\/p>\n
Great Spirit, bless us with Your spirit of unity,
\nAnd guide us on the path of righteousness,
\nSo that we may be one, as You are one,
\nAnd bear witness to Your love and Your truth.<\/p>\n
