Fear That's Said Its Prayers

Courage is really fear that has said it's prayers. The truth is there is no way we can do anything without a deep spiritual life and dependence on God.

We chaplains bring the presence of God into every situation, so that wherever our soldiers find themselves, they are not devoid of God.
