Heavenly Father,
As we embark on this journey, we ask for Your protection and guidance. We trust in Your promise to never leave or forsake us, and we claim that promise over our travels.
Lord, give us safe travels and watch over us as we journey to our destination. We ask for Your wisdom and discernment in all of our decisions and actions.
We also ask for Your provision, as we trust in You to meet all of our needs during this trip. And if there’s any kind of trouble we may face, we believe that You will work everything out for our good.
As we go, we want to bring honor and glory to Your name, so please help us to be a light to those we encounter on our journey.
Thank You, Lord, for Your love and faithfulness. We trust in Your sovereignty and pray that Your will be done in all aspects of this travel.
We ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
