PARACHUTIST'S PRAYER

Almighty God, our Heavenly Father, who art above us and beneath us, within and around us; drive from the minds of our paratroopers any fear of the space in which thou art present.

Give them confidence in the strength of Thine everlasting arms to uphold them.

Endow them with clear minds and pure hearts that they may participate worthily in the victory which this nation must achieve in Thy name and through Thy will.

Make them hardy soldiers of our country as well as of Thy Son, Our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Amen.
