Native African Prayer for Peace
Almighty God,
The Great Thumb
We cannot evade
To tie any knot;

The Roaring Thunder
That splits mighty trees;
The all-seeing Lord
Up on high

Who sees
Even the footprints
Of an antelope
On a rock mass here on Earth.

You are the one
Who does not hesitate
To respond to our call.
You are the cornerstone of peace.

Native American Prayer for Peace
O 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 in mind.
Let us learn to share all the good things
That you provide for us on this Earth.
----
Zoroastrian Prayer for Peace
We pray to God
To eradicate all the misery in the world;

That understanding triumph over ignorance,
That generosity triumph over indifference,

That trust triumph over contempt,
And that truth triumph over falsehood.
