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. |

The Racers Prayer:
Lord I Pray as I race today, keep me safe along the way. Not only me but others too as they perform the jobs they do. I know God, that in a race I , the driver must set the pace. But in this race of life, I pray, help me Lord along the way. Although I know I am a sinner, Help me to believe, that with God you're always a
winner.
