Lord, you have called us to be guardians of a nation founded on your principles. Whatever our tasks as Security Forces men and women, we do them to serve you and our nation.

We are proud to accept the responsibility of this high calling.

We dedicate ourselves to our vocation, and ask for guidance and courage in aiding our people to live with dignity, in safety and peace.

We know that true security comes from your presence, so we pray with the psalmist:

You bless those who obey you, Lord;

Your love protects them like a shield.

Use us, O Lord, as shields for your people, reflecting your security and peace.

  Amen
