Marine's
Prayer
Almighty Father, whose command is over all and whose
love never fails, make me aware of Thy presence and obedience 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
