Special request for our Marines in the toughest neighborhoods in Iraq, and for Darrin Mortenson - a reporter in one of those particularly bad neighborhoods in Fallujah, embedded with some of our finest from Camp Pendleton.

Praying that the longsuffering Iraqis who dream of freedom find the strength to stand with our troops and civilian support teams, and for strength and assistance for our Marines - and their fellow American military, and Coalition allies (and their loved ones on the homefront) - that they are able to continue to accomplish the difficult tasks demanded of them daily, with clear minds and unburdened hearts - filled with the Holy Spirit, protected by angels, lifted by our prayers.

Marine's 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 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 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. 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.
