Prayer for Safe Travel

Dear God,

As I embark on this journey, I ask for Your protection and guidance. Keep me safe from harm and lead me on the path that You have for me. Help me to trust in You and to rely on Your strength, rather than my own.

I pray that You would be with me every step of the way, watching over me and keeping me safe. Please give me wisdom to make good decisions and the strength to follow Your will.

I also pray for my family. Please watch over them and keep them safe in my absence. Bring them peace and comfort, and let Your love surround them.

Lord, I also pray for the safety of all those traveling with me, and for all those who will come in contact with us along the way. Please watch over us and keep us all safe.

Thank You for Your constant presence and care. In Your holy name I pray, Amen.
