Pray with the water protectors at Oceti Sakowin camp as they nonviolently stand for our water, our earth, and our great grandchildren. Give thanks for their victories and steadfastness so far, and pray for them as they continue to build and develop their anti-colonial camp despite the frigid winter. 

Indigenous and non-indigenous people marching together at Oceti Sakowin Camp

Isaiah 35: 5-7

Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened,

    and the ears of the deaf unstopped;

then the lame shall leap like a deer,

    and the tongue of the speechless sing for joy.

For waters shall break forth in the wilderness,

    and streams in the desert;

the burning sand shall become a pool,

    and the thirsty ground springs of water;

the haunt of jackals shall become a swamp,

    the grass shall become reeds and rushes.
