Prayers for Every Need: Prayers When Traveling

“Pray without ceasing,” the apostle Paul said. In prayer, we draw close to God and provide an opening for Him to enter our lives with healing, wisdom and blessing. Please keep in mind that there is a prayer for every need. Even yours.

Prayers When Traveling

On the Street

Dear Lord, keep all members of my family in your watchful care as they make their way on the streets. Keep them safely in your sheltering arms. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. (I Peter 5:7)

In the Car

God, I commit this car and everyone in it to your protection. The streets are busy and the way can be confusing. Keep us safe from the dangers of the road. Give us courtesy and patience with other drivers. And help us reach our destination swiftly and easily, always knowing that you are with us. Amen.

How priceless is your unfailing love! Both high and low among men find refuge in the shadow of your wings. (Psalm 36:7)

In a Plane

God, sometimes flying makes me nervous. I know airplanes are safe, but still I worry. Give me your peace, God, and help me remember that you are watching over this plane every moment it is aloft. Bless the men and women in the cockpit. Bless the flight attendants and all the passengers. Keep your hands on the intricate workings of the engines and all other parts of this plane. Remind me that flight is a miraculous gift from you, and that when this plane speeds through the air, it is obeying the physical laws of the world you created. As I look at the sky above and the earth below, I praise you for the beauty of your creation. I place myself confidently in your care, knowing that, just as you guide me on the ground, so your loving arms protect me in the air. Amen.

Fear not, for I am with you. Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. (Isaiah 41:10)
