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 myself best self, guarding me in 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. Giver 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 leadership. Help me to wear my uniform with dignity, and let it remind me daily of the tradition 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 the truth and grant me wisdom by which I may understand to answer my prayer.
