Almighty God, creator of all that is, we thank you that we have the opportunity to come before you today to celebrate the great accomplishment of our new as United States Navy sailors. Thank you for the successful completion of boot camp here at recruit training command. We thank you for their families, friends, and mentors who have encouraged and inspired them to get to this moment. We also thank you for the RDCs, the instructors, facilitators, and staff who have sacrificed greatly and forged each single one of their lives for the past several weeks. These sailors have been tested and tried, and yet through the pressure they have been transformed into warriors. Now these warriors, these mighty sailors, stand here today with the awesome responsibility on their shoulders, that future freedom is dependent on them, and they have the great responsibility to their families, their country, those who have served before them, to the constitution they swore to defend, the leadership, the world, and future generations. We pray, we pray they won't fall to the weight that rests upon them, but they will rise for the tasks that are set before them. And we pray that they would be men, women, and great characters who are confident and tough and always ready to get the mission accomplished as they defend freedom and democracy around the world. So then, as our new sailors go around the world, who are now be forged by the great sea, may they always be a beacon of hope and light, and Lord, may you always grant them immeasurable courage, unwavering strength, sound guidance, and godly wisdom, but most of all you remain their spiritual anchors of faith, hope, and love, and may their lives always reflect the core values and core actions and everything that they do. In the most holy name we pray, amen.
