Dear God, I am proud to be wed to one who defends freedom and peace.
My challenges are many and I pray for
your love and guidance to meet them.
Special to me are the symbols representing
my religion, country, community, and home.
I pray for the wisdom and grace to be true
to their meaning.
You are the symbol of my religious beliefs,
and the source of my strength. Because my life
is full of change, I cherish the solid and
constant spiritual foundation that you provide.
Help me, Lord, to be an example of your teachings.
My national flag represents freedom. Let me
never forget, or take for granted, the hope it shows
to the world. Bless those who have made sacrifices
for freedom. As I enter the gateway to a military
community, guide me to reach out to others and keep it
a wholesome place. May my charity be given without
thought to personal rewards.
My wedding ring represents eternity and
never-ending love. Let me celebrate all of the joys
of our togetherness and find comfort in them during
times of separation. I pray, also, we are spared the
ultimate sacrifice of duty to country.
My house is a symbol of our family and its unity.
It is the place where we share memories of the past
and build dreams of the future. Make willing my heart
and hands to do even the smallest tasks that will
make our house a better home.
Thank you, God, for daily being with us as we live
in the Army. Please grant us your continued blessings,
increased strength, and infinite guidance,
as we live to your honor and glory.
