“Gentle breeze from the four corners of the earth,
Bear our prayer on your wings to the court of the most high God.
Blazing sun, do not scotch our petition.
Falling rain, do not drown our request.
Flashing lightening, do not strike down our plea.
Roaring thunder, do not scare our supplication…
Beaming moon, illumine our prayer before our God.
Twinkling stars, show our prayer the way to the abode of God.
Gentle dew, water the path of our prayer to the dwelling of God, the most high.
Rustling wind, make our prayer pleasing to the ears of God.
Gentle breeze from the four corners of the earth,
Bear our prayer on your wings to the court of the most high God.”
