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. whose command is
