Prayer in Lodge ...

In the first round … as it holds honor to our babies, our young ones and our children, I ask Grandfather to heal you from those years. I ask that you be relieved of any pain from those memories that you hold of the things that may have been done to you that no young one would even imagine. I asked that you be soothed from any pain that you hold for not having been given the care, comfort and protection that a little one needs and deserves. I ask that you be given the strength to forgive your chosen birth Mother and birth Father for any inability they may have had to be better parents to you. I ask that Grandfather in his great wisdom give you more or less as he knows you better than me.

In the second round … as it holds honor to our older children, our adolescents and young people … the ones in between the not small enough and not big enough stage of life. I ask Grandfather to heal you from those years. I ask that you be relieved from any painful memories that you may hold from any way that you may have been mistreated, abandoned or even discarded. I ask that you be soothed from any pain that you may hold for not having been given the guidance, respect, dedication and protection that a young one needs and deserves. I ask that you be given the strength to forgive your chosen birth parents and their relations, your siblings for any inability they may have had to be better caregivers for you. I ask that Grandfather in his great wisdom give you more or less as he knows you better than me.

In the third round … as it holds honor to the grown ones, the adults in the stage of life that we are now in. The age that brings us "the knowing" of who we have been and the directions for who we are becoming … the time where we deal with our past and our future. I ask Grandfather to heal you in these years. I ask that you be relieved of the pain that you may be feeling from fear, from loss and from lack of direction in any present moment. I ask that he support you as you seek your highest good. I ask that he lift your feet on your path so that you can move forward in life and find the joy and comfort that you deserve. I ask that he give you strength to forgive yourself for any inability you may have ever had to be a better person for yourself and for others. I ask that Grandfather in his great wisdom give you more or less as he knows you better than me.

In the fourth round … as it holds honor to the elders, the old ones, the wise one, the lived ones, the experiences ones. I ask that Grandfather answer my prayers from the first three rounds as that will support you and prepare you for all that you need when you are an old one. I ask that Grandfather in his great wisdom give you more or less as he knows you better than me.
