A prayer for Mato Paha

Great Spirit We come to you today in all humbleness and thanksgiving.

We come to you Father with many request as you know today for Mato Paha.
You see Father what is happening to this land through greed and profit.

Ignorance and pride stands in or brother Allen, Ignorance of the Peace and Spirit that dwells on that land. Pride is in his heart and blinds him from you and the truth of that blessed place, blinds him from the respect your land and people have to you.

Father We pray for Allen and not curse him. We pray for understanding and forgiveness to enter all of our hearts and rest in your Spirit within us that you so freely gave.
We pray for enlightenment from you to him Great Father and to us all. We pray that he truly sees through spirit eyes.
We pray Father he seeks you for answers.
We pray Great Father you visit him so he may understand the Great Give Away.

We do not pray for harm but only Love, as you Love us so shall we Love one another Father.

Anger and sin not..... is in our Spirit Father. We ask for Peace. Peace on your land and Peace in your people.

Great Spirit we want to with all our being to wrap our arms around Allen and comfort him as a Brother, but rebellion blocks our way. We ask from you Father that the rebellion be removed from all your children so healing may begin.
We praise you Father for Loving us and all your creation, for teaching us your ways and not letting us perish in our ignorance.
We strive for oneness with you Father with all our relations together. May your ways be our ways.

We know Father with all respect we can not force your hand to anything, for you are God of all and all is from you. We do not fight against your will for your will should be our will. But request we let be known with all love and kindness of heart.

Our request Father as we look outside of ourselves and to your will.

If Mato Paha is to be as it always has, as we would like it to be from the beginning.

Then we ask for your will to be known to Allen.

Allen said with his own words that he would back down to no one but you Father, so you see Father that leaves us no path to our Brother.

Our Brother did ask if we would come over to him but our respect and love for your ways forbid it with love and kindness.

His Pride drives us to anger and we pray for your guidance and will to be done.

If Mato Paha is to become as the world would have it to be with profit and not Spirit, thy will be done.

But Father when you take away something it is always to teach us, so we ask for the lesson with all thankfulness.
You are the Father who does not withhold from your children and with gladness of heart we do receive.

But as it was so shall it be with Mato Paha until we receive our lesson.

Allen, by his words will not back down with his disrespect to your Holy ground. Our request Holy Father is that your Spirit would visit him to bring him to understanding and love of his brothers and sisters.

By his request We pray that if not brought back into the fold of your children that the Four Winds of the world blow the issue away for good as our Brother Allen requested. Shall not a stud be left standing or a car in the lot.

Father we pray that the space can be used for good and not evil, for peace and not bondage. We pray Allen will donate the land and space back to the Lakota People and You Father, and the Four Winds will not blow but the breath of God will blow again to the people.

Father our Brother Allen said it would make happy if the Lakota Elders would watch the sunset over Mato Paha on the deck of that building and we agree with that and support the day that happens but it must be with the Lakota peoples way and not the way of the world.

So we pray and ask with all thankfulness that Allen gives it to the Lakota people for a healing center and workshop for all people to learn your ways.

We pray for Allen and his family, peace and understanding and love we send to him.

We thank you Great Father for hearing our prayer and loving your creation, may we all be as one within you.

So shall it BE
