The 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 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 Corp 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 light of truth and grant me

Wisdom by which I may understand the

Answer to my prayer.

 

Amen
