Something to think about

11/24/2019

This is a prayer that I heard about and wanted to find out what it stated. You can find it at: https://westpoint.edu/about/chaplain/cadet-prayer

Colonel Clayton E. Wheat wrote this prayer when he was the Chaplain there (1918-1926).

This is a prayer that, from what I heard, was for the cadets at West Point Military Academy to learn before they graduated prior to 1972. I trust the person who stated it; however, I could find no proof on the internet about that. However, I do know that this is a prayer that with a few minor changes is one that all Christians should know and follow.

The changes to make so it would be for us civilians is in the next to last sentence. They are, to change the word “Corps” to “Lord Jesus Christ” and the words “West Point” to “Jesus.”

If this strikes your curiosity then go to this website and read it for yourself.
