Oh Great Spirit of our Ancestors, I raise my pipe to you. To your messengers the four winds, and to Mother Earth who provides for your children. Give us the wisdom to teach our children to love, to respect, and to be kind to each other so that they may grow with peace of mind. Let us learn to share all good things that you provide for us on this Earth. —Chief Yellow Hawk
Prayers
Oklevueha Native American Church of Kautantowit's Mecautea completely and totally promote and endorse Prayer in each and every aspect of your individual dailty lives - Great Creator is Always with you and always interested in what you have to say, especially when you express how you truely feel about all things.
Prayer is nothing more than a personalized conversation between yourself and Great Creator, there is no formality nor right or wrong way to pray, just conversate with Creator like you would a friend or a loved one, and hopefully too as you would an enemy or stranger. Be respectful... Creator is a being too, a stronger and more powerful one granted, but still, even if you lash out in anger or upset, acknowledge it - Creator loves you and will forgive you, all you've got to do is ask and explain why your feeling the ways you are and what it is you'd appreciate he do for and to help you.
We encourage you to pray for the world and all life within it in addition to simply praying for yourselves and your loved ones. We encourage humility and compassion for all things, seen as well as unseen, things in the present and to come as well as for all things past, including those who've evolved and moved beyond the realms of our world.
And we emphasize that Great Creator is proud of you even more when you open your heart to compassionately consider Creation, when you pray for the sakes of others more than your own personal wants and wishes. Ultimately as wewell know, it's Creator's will that shall be done, but as a friend to, and a child of in which Creator finds glory and pride to be had, believe it or not, your prayers alone could prove to make a world of positive difference aswhere doing or saying nothing will only ensure things remain the same appearing if no one seems to care.
Prayer is a powerful tool, and thanks to the mighty wings of the eagle, all are heard and known by the ear of Great Creator. Speak often and speak sincerely. Don't forget to say thank you when all is going well andeven average, not only when things are bad and times are seemingly at their worst. The more frequent your acknowledgement of Great Creator, the closer and more solid the personal bond between the two of you will be, and ultimately, isn't it better to aim for a good relationship rather than so sit idle and have your Creator feel unknown to and by you in the long run?
Your relationship with your Creator is only your own, ONAC.KM is NOT here to guide or attempt to impeed, hinder, or force indoctrinate you into Anything or any belief or concept once-so-ever, we are here soly with the intent to help you make your bond with your maker as strong and successful as it's been pre-destined for you to have it be, and to offer you everything within our means to you for that sole reason.
This is why we offer you prayer options of all sorts, in addition to your own personalized ones of course.
At our ONAC.KM foundation al headquarters in the quaint downtown area of Harrisburg, Oregon,we offer you as our members access to our church-house facility during our daily hours of operation for any prayer, meditation, or ceremonial needs you might desire.
Our church-house has 2 confessional booths as well located in the rear of the sanctuary near the main entrance of the building. If you need a minister / healer to accomidate you in the confessional, please do not hesitate to ask and one will be glad to help you just as soon as is avaliable for them to do.
We will also have a sacred firepit to offer members for prayer and meditation use outdoors as well, and again, we offer private as well as group prayer sessions as needed away from our sanctuary grounds as well for those too ill or those in facilities as well, whether in person, or via one of the many technological options avaliable that is best convenient.
Additionally, ONAC.KM offers as well as encourages All Members to get actively involved in our prayer support resources such as email and telephonic prayer lines needing and deserving of your compassion and attention - No One in our ONAC family should EVER Feel Alone and it's each of our jobs to ensure they don't, especially during their times of need... YOU wouldn't want to be!
Hopefully you'll never have to know just what a difference a few minutes of your time and consideration could make to your brothers and sisters desperately in need of it! Our question is, will you spare it?
Cherokee Prayer Blessing
May the warm winds of heaven
Blow softly upon your house.
May the Great Spirit
Bless all who enter there.
May your mocassins
Make happy tracks
In many snows,
And may the rainbow
Always touch your shoulder
