What do Marines do best? B.S. about the Corps, Country and liberty. We hear little about God. That talk little about God falls short in my book.

Faith, courage, and prayer birthed our great nation and guided America through more than 200 years of wars, natural disasters and national crisis.

Prayer is a freedom guaranteed to us by our Constitution, and a God-given right to all humanity. The opportunity to pray is a privilege, honor and sacred duty.

History has proven that forces will wage war against our freedom. Terrorism has shed blood on American soil. Violent crime has invaded American homes and schools. Drugs and alcohol abuse rage aginst the innocence of youth. Forces of darkness threaten our morality, integrity and faith. Prayer for our nation is our defense.

Now is the time to be resolute in our defiance against the forces of destruction, to unite as a nation and not succumb to fear. Americans must stand strong and remain bold in faith, courage and prayers.

The nations needs our prayers. The President, his advisors, congress, and all local and national leaders need our prayers. The armed forces, firefighters and law enforcement personnel need your prayers.

Make a commitment to pray daily for our nation. Our heavenly Father is listening. He loves us and this nation.

If my people, which are called by my
name, shall humble themselves, and pray,
and seek my face, and turn from their
wicked ways; then will I hear from
heaven, and will forgive their sin, and
will heal their land.

2 Chronicles 7:14

THE MILITARY



Thank you Lord, for the men and women of our armed forces. Protect them as they protect us. Defend them as they defend us. Encourage and strengthen their spirit, soul, and body in the execution of their duties and responsibilities. May they be mentally and physically strong when required to face the challenges of combat. Under gird them with your spirit and might when they are called upon to endure the hardships of battle.

I pray that nothing would take them by surprise but that they would be aware of all potential aggression. Enable them to curtail hostile actions before they start.

Reveal to military leaders the strategies and plots that enemies would wage. Give leaders wisdom and insight in all decisions. May response to any aggression by enemies of this nation be swift, accurate and effective.

Father, give our military favor with the governmental agencies of this country. I pray that our Congress would appropriate sufficient funds to keep our nation's military preeminent in the world.

Thank you Lord, for providing America with the best trained, equipped and lead military force in the world today. Fill them with Your saving grace and the gospel of peace that they may be shining witnesses of Your love.
Amen

I see a few Good Marines looked at the thread God. True Combat vet's know God, lest we forget. Oh, dear God get me out of this sh@# and I will blank----- for the rest of my life, lest we forget. Oh, sh$% lord get me out of this and I will ----- do this for you, lest we forget. Oh God it hurt's, make the pain it go away! Doc well I make. Its just a leg wound Cpl your going to make it. The MEDVAC is on the way. Back in the B-Med shooting the sh#$ w/your buddies, I got a Heart. I'll be out in a couple of weeks, lest we forget. God remebers and loves us. This is the hardest subject to talk about with Marines of any rank except the Chaplin.

I'll show you a closet you can go to and God our Lord will hear you. In Matthew Ch 6 5-13.

5 And when thou prayest,
thou shalt not be as the hypo-
crites are: for they love to pray
standing in the synagogues and
in the corners of the streets, that
they may be seen of men. Verily
I say unto you, They have there
reward.
6 But thou, when thou prayest
enter into thy closet, and when
thou hast shut thy door, pray to
thy Father which is in secret; and
thy Father which seeth in secret
shall reward thee openly.
7 But when ye pray, use not vain
repetitions, as the heathen do:
for they think that they shall be
heard for their much speaking.
8 Be not ye therefore like unto
them: for your Father knoweth
what things ye have need of,
before ye ask him.
9 After this manner therefore
pray ye: Our Father which art in
heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
10 Thy kingdom come. Thy will
be done in earth, as it is in heaven.
11 Give us this day our daily bread.
12 And forgive us our debts, as
we foregive our debtors.
13 And lead us not into tempta-
tion, but deliver us from evil:
For thine is the kingdom, and the
power, and the glory, for ever.
Amen

We, as individuals were chosen to be Marines. Hey Marine, Where you going. To my closet.

:iwo: O Lord, as we celebrate Memorial Day, let me remember that if it was not for the brave people of yesterday, I would not stand free today. Life would not be a gift but, instead, a prison. Not everyone knows the freedoms of life, liberty, and happiness as I do. Today, I thank you, O might God, and I thank the heroes of America's past. Help me to have the courage and bravery of my fellow American's in the past and present.
Amen :flag:

AMEN!!!!

The Christian faith and being a Marine are not always 100% compatible, but it is what it is!
