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
