I thought I'd open up this board for all Jingle Dress dancers to post our special prayers here. This is what our dresses are about. Healing, and thoughtfulness.

There is a fellow Jingle Dress dancer and her son who is in need of prayers. We, as Jingle Dress dancers should come here and post our prayers. Bring our minds together as one mind and remember to pray for her and her son when you dance at your next powwow or ceremony. As you begin to dance, ask the Creator to look down at them both and pray for their recovery, give them strength, healings, guidance and love.

I am also sending out prayers for our fellow jingle dress dancer and son for a speedy recover.

This is a really good thread for all of us as jingle dress dancers to get together and pray, send out prayers for those who are in need.

A'HO!

Thank you to those dancers who responded here.

I know there are more jingle dress dancers who come on here to read and post. So, lets' see you all. I thought there'd be more than this.

Originally I sent a private pm to Ojibwaysweetie on 6/16/07 and it was suggested I post here as well. Thank you Ojibwaysweetie. My prayers are still there. Here's my message"I wanted to thank you for this post. It has touched me so much to see that there are people in this world who care for others. I remember hearing it said one time that we are a "praying people", and that is so true. While I am not a jingle dress dancer, but southern straight, your message just touched my heart this morning, and I wanted you to know. Thank you again for making this post."

I'm making several dresses this summer and I will keep them in my prayers while I'm working on them.

Those of you that know the words of prayer please pray for my niece. She's strung out on drugs pretty bad. She just stole a bunch of stuff, pawned it, took the money and ran. The thing is she has a three year old (that she just left after exposing him to her "lifestyle") being raised by the grandparents (my sister and B-I-L) and they're stretched to the limit with everything else. She also stole his child support check and hauled tail. My sister's heart is hurting pretty bad. Please hold them all in prayer.

Can someone put a sticky here? If I knew how to do it, I would. This Jingle Dress prayer thread gets lost in the compage. To me, its an important post here in this forum.

Obviously, I am not a jingle dress dancer. But........ I believe in prayer and the good thoughts that could be conveyed through the person wearing the dress. I have occasionally gave asemaa to certain jingle dress dancers who I personally know who are of good minds to pray for people who are troubled in some way. Yes, the prayers were answered.
Ojibwaysweetie was one of these women who I asked to send the message to the Creator. Miigwetch.

On another occasion, my leg was greatly bothering me. I could barely walk, let alone dance. I gave a gift of asemaa to this one young lady and she danced for me. I danced two more days. My Dad told me when I was young that G'Zheminidoo will help those who help themselfs. I worked on my leg, massaged it, soaked in the hot tub, wrapped it along with the prayers. I'm glad that I learned this from him.

Prayer is wonderful and works, but...... you also have to do the right things.

I am grateful for those conveyors of prayer.

Hello Everyone, I haven't posted in quite some time but I felt that I needed to in this case. I normally don't ask for prayers for myself.. However.. this year has been incredibly hard.. I was just married a few months ago.. and just found out last month that my now husband has been with someone off and on for the entire time we were together. Needless to say..that pretty much destroyed me.. and as a result i've been sick both mentally and physically since then. I've been confused and not sure what I should be doing or which way I'm going half the time. Normally I'm a strong person and am usually the one folks go to for help.. and at this point.. I feel hopeless.. BUT.. the one good thing is .. this pushed me back to dancing again.. So I guess something good has come out of it.. and I'm sure a ton of lessons learned.. So if you would.. I would appreciate your thoughts and prayers.. I know i can get through this.. just need to take baby steps right :) Well thank you and God Bless you all.

We are so lucky that we have our dresses and we are able to dance.. just one of the many many things Im so thankful for thoughout this whole horrible mess.


Blessing to you all
