Last November, at the Marine Corps Ball, there was a Chaplain there that said this real kick ass prayer about how with the help of God, we will bring justice to our enemies. Unfortunately, I was way too drunk (this WA S the Ball after all) to remember where he got it or where it was from.

While we're at it, please post any prayer dealing with battle or the such. Hopefully I can use them all soon! [;D]  (I know, I know, be careful what you wish for... [:)]

Here's the 'Marine Prayer', but I know you're not referring to that one:

Patton's Prayer:

"Almighty and most merciful Father, we humbly beseech Thee, of Thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for Battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call Thee that, armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen."


Come on guys, I know some of you have some more...

 Soldier's Prayer (St. Ignatius)
Teach us, good Lord, to serve Thee as Thou deservest:
To give, and not to count the cost;
To fight, and not to heed the wounds;
To toil, and not to seek for rest;
To labor, and not to ask for any reward, save that of knowing that we do Thy will.
Amen.

Walking In God’s Armor
(A Prayer For Our USA Service)

Lord, we bring before You -
though we may not know each name -
The men and women called to serve.

Lord, they seek no reward or fame.
Lord, grant them wisdom to know Your Word,
and to hide in Your Secret Place.

Keep them in the shelter of Your arms;
help them seek Your Holy face.

Though the world may come against them,
let the arrow that flies by day
Be trampled under feet shod with peace
as they walk in Your steadfast way.

When they see destruction at noonday,
Lord, give them courage to stand
Holding the shield of faith You give
to protect our beautiful land.

Terror may come in the nighttime -
thousands may fall at their side,
But, Lord we pray You’ll protect them -
that in Your grace they’ll abide

Help them wield the sword of Your Spirit
to fight for the freedom You give
Whether on the shores of our enemies,
or in the land where we live.

We know You have heard our prayers, Dear Lord,
as our soldiers take the helmet of salvation.

Guide them in Your righteousness
as they stand proudly defending our nation.
