Marine's Prayer Marine's Prayer
| Almighty Father , whose command is over all and whose love
never fails, make me aware of Thy presence and obedient
to Thy will. Keep me true to my best self, guarding me
against dishonesty in purpose and deed and helping me to
live so that I can face my fellow Marines, my loved ones
and Thee without shame or fear. Protect my family. Give
me the will to do the work of a Marine and to accept my
share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm.
Grant me the courage to be proficient in my daily
performance. Keep me loyal and faithful to my superiors
and to the duties my country and the Marine Corps have
entrusted to me. Make me considerate of those committed
to my leadership. Help me to wear my uniform with
dignity, and let it remind me daily of the traditions
which I must uphold. If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give me courage to try again. Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand the answer to my prayer. |
| AMEN. |
