Soldiers of special forces offer a prayer to Almighty God as the author of liberty and champion of the oppressed, acknowledging their dependence upon Him in preserving human freedom and asking His presence as they defend the defenseless and free the enslaved. They ask to remember that their nation, whose motto is "In God we trust," expects them to acquit themselves with honor so they never bring shame upon their faith, families, or fellow men, and they seek wisdom, courage, strength, and protection as they do battle, affirming that the victor's crown belongs to God and that His is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
