The Marines’ 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 in 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.
