a prayer of rest

Tonight I will sleep beneath your feet, O Lord of the mountains and valleys, ruler
of the trees and vines.  I will rest in your love, with you protecting me as a father protects his children, with you watching over me as a mother watches over her children.  Then tomorrow the sun will rise and I will not know where I am; but I know that you will guide my footsteps.


A Sioux prayer.
