A Soldier's Prayer
God our Father,
Help me to remain true to my ideals during my service to my country.
Help me be what is in America, the land of the free.
May I realize that I represent what our country stands for.
My uniform is a symbol of duty and valor both in peace and in war.
I take up arms to defend what all Americans hold dear:life, liberty,
and the pursuit of happiness.
Grant me the strength to live according to these ideals,
the courage of my convictions, and the resolve to endure whatever dangers
threaten.
With you at our side I fear no evil and resist every enemy, secure in the
knowledge
that you hold me in the palm of your hand.
Amen.
======= ೋღ☃ღೋ =======
No harm will befall you, no disaster will come near your tent.
For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways.
{Psalm 91:10 - 11}
