"The one who wishes to be a true medicine person must be a person of faith, and
they can only work successfully with those who also have faith"
F
ools Crow, Lakota

Medicine People are spiritual beings who have made a decision to seek the Red
Road. They sacrifice and seek the way of the Creator.  After many years of
dedication, the Grandfathers teach them about power and about laws and about
how to use the medicine.  The Medicine people develop tremendous faith in their
medicine and in the Creator.  When we go to the Medicine People, we too must
have faith so they can help us.  We can only be helped if we want to be helped.  
Because the Medicine People know how to help - that is only half of it.  The
other half is up to us.  We must have faith that the Medicine has powers to help.

My Creator...... faith is belief without evidence.  Today, give me the faith.  Let me
trust that You are running my life.  Let me know You are in charge of all things.  Let
my mind not wonder;  let me stand strong on Your path today..
