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 deep 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.
