Hello everybody - as you can see on the news the Wallow fire in Northern Arizona is still uncontrollable and spreading.
The fire has destroyed everything in its path, over 1/2 million acres so far, the largest fire in Arizona history. Please join us in a tribal prayer to help the firefighters and all involved. Pray so the winds stop and the rains start (without lightning please) We want to pray for the safety of all. Ask for heavenly walls to protect our land and animals from fire. All the choppers, manpower, planes, and bulldozers are not enough, they need our help. We are one Nation as Natives and our traditional prayers to the Creator as Natives can be pretty powerful; not only are our tribal lands at stake (White Mountain & San Carlos Apaches, possibly Zuni, and some Navajo areas), but our non-native friends also need our help. Please let us all connect our minds, hearts and our prayers across the miles and pray. Wherever you are and whatever you have plan please stop for a few minutes and raise your hands to the Creator to ask for help. If all of you can forward this message across the Nations, we can reach many thru phone and internet. Please start forwarding ASAP to reach as many as we can. Please if your spiritual preference is not traditional - pray with us in however way you talk to the Creator.
Thank you,
Dorothea Stevens, San Carlos Apache Nation
FOR THOSE WHO TOOK THE TIME TO ADD THEIR ENERGIES TO THE REQUEST...........
I give thanks for unknown blessings already on their way......Dandelion
Feel the Spirit.....
Of the rain.......For our bodies are made of mostly water......
Go deep inside and speak to the Water......
Connect to this Life Force that is in all.....
Ask the Helpers to bring the rains, the waters, to where it is needed.
Great Spirit pity us.....
Hear my humble prayer......
Allow the Cloud Nation to form and bring a rain to help all your Relations in areas afflicted with the Fires.....
We beseech the ThunderBeings without the flash of Light to Honor this humble request.....
Bless those who need it with Rain......
Bless those who need it with Rain......
Bless those who need it with Rain......
Bless those who need it with Rain......
