From a traditional Native American Prayer

From a traditional Native American Prayer.

O Wakan-Tanka (Grandfather God)
     I need power
          not to be greater than my relations
          but to conquer the enemy in myself.
     Make me ready to come to You always
          with a pure heart
          and with clear eyes,
     So when the time comes for my life to fade away,
          as the sunset fades,
     So may my spirit come to You
          with honor and without shame.
