Penobscot elder Ar nie Neptune said to never pray for yourself because the Creator has already given you everything that you need. So only thanks is necessary.
That is a beautiful concept and truth. Asking for more than you already have been given opens the door to greed. Greed is what’s sinking the planet. Wanting more is the hunger that feeds consumerism. And consumerism gives more to those who can never have enough. If we are all thankful for what we have, then the greed for more never arises and we don’t consume in the mass quantities that drain Mother Earth. We can leave the gold and silver alone and find our path away from fossil fuels. All because of prayer and thankfulness. AHO
