One of my favorite Facebook sites is the Nighthawk's Spiritual Works administered by Dennis Binns.
The following is just one of the daily prayers published by this special man. If you are hungry to begin your year with spiritual inspiration, you can't do any better than logging onto Mr. Binns' site. It is a perfect place for a daily meditation, too.

Great Spirit, Almighty Healer and Creator of all things, it
is with humbled hearts that we gather together to offer up many thanks. We
thank you for the sacredness of the soil we walk upon, as it holds the blood of
those that have come before us. We thank you for the wisdom that comes to our
hearts through the experiences we encounter, as well as when we receive them
from our ancestors. We thank you for the strength found in the wind as it
swirls in circles, and the gentleness of the breeze as it touches our cheeks.
We thank you for the cycles of the seasons that show us how life also moves
through cycles. We thank you for the wisdom found in the trees when we learn to
empty our minds and listen intently to the words they speak. We thank you for
the snow that will soon blanket the ground as it prepares it for its slumber.
We ask for healing for those that are enduring great suffering
through diverse diseases and disorders. We ask for comfort and peace for those
that have lost loved ones. We ask for strength and courage for those that have
moved on to the Spirit World. We ask for a greater spiritual reawakening so we
may become a greater voice that will not falter throughout the four corners. We
ask for an end to the hatred that further destroys us. We ask instead for an
era of peace where all become truly equal. We ask for an end to greed and
materialistic desires. We ask instead for closed eyes to see and hardened
hearts to soften so we may begin to understand the destruction we have made and
the task that lies before us. We ask for freedom for all that have been
incarcerated over crimes they did not commit. We ask for veils of secrecy to be
lifted and closed doors to open so we may better understand that which has
brought so much evil into the world. We ask for protection for the defenseless.
We ask also for protection for all of our animal friends that are being killed
for sport or wall trophies. We ask for an end to domestic violence and abuse
and protection be given to those that must suffer through them. We ask for an
end to all hostilities and war that further feeds the hatred that divides us.
For those that have been abducted, we ask for your strength be granted and for
their safe return. We ask for patience when we tend to rush into things before
we think.
We thank you for our Elders and the wisdom they provide. May
those that are deserving be given the respect they need. We thank you for our
children that will build upon an unbreakable foundation this generation lays
before them. We thank you for the many trials we endure in order to strengthen
our spirit. We thank you for our relations that provide insight when it is
needed. We thank you for the rains that come to bring growth and purification
to the areas of need. We thank you for the precious gift of life and the
magnificence of the beauty that surrounds us. Emenv
