Teach Us and Show Us the Way: A Native American Prayer for Guidance and Inner Clarity

“Teach Us and Show Us the Way” is a reverent Native American-inspired prayer that invites us to slow down, open our hearts, and remember our connection to the living world around us.

In this 10-minute invocation, we call upon Mother Earth, the sun and moon, the mountains, waters, forests, animals, ancestors, and star beings, not just to honor them, but to ask for guidance, presence, and truth.

This prayer is a compass for the soul, perfect for moments of uncertainty, transition, or quiet contemplation. 

Let it support you in returning to the body, stilling the mind, and asking the deeper questions:

What am I ready to let go of?
What is life trying to show me now?
How can I return to trust?

Use this prayer during:

• Morning or evening reflection
• Ceremonial space or personal ritual
• Times of emotional heaviness or confusion
• Nature walks, grounding practices, or breathwork sessions

May you feel held by the great mystery. May you receive the clarity you seek.

Teach us… and show us the way.
