Almighty Father,
whose command is over all whose love never fails,
make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will
Kepp me true to myself
guarding me against dishonesty in pupose 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 enthusiam
Grunt 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, make me strong to resist
If I should miss the mark, give me the courage to try again
Guide me with the light of truth and grant me the wisdom
by which I may understand the answer to my prayer.
AMEN.
