Praying for a safe journey and return and trusting in the Lord. Before you leave on your next trip, use the following prayers to ask the Lord for protection and guidance for your specific travel situation.
A prayer for traveling by car
Dear Lord, I pray for a safe ride in our car today. I pray that no unexpected mechanical or tire problems occur. Keep us safe on these crowded roads, as well as the others we share it with.
As a driver, give me the discernment about when to take breaks so I don’t push myself to the limit. Release your angels to surround us and protect us until we reach our final destination. In your name, I pray. Amen.
A prayer to not have any accident
Dear Lord, I pray for everyone on the roads today. I pray that they will be more cautious and less distracted. Help us navigate the crowded roads on the way to our destination.
I pray that you will release your angels around every vehicle on the road and that no accidents happen. I ask that all who travel reach their destination safely. In your name, I pray. Amen.
A prayer for air travel
Dear Lord, I pray for the journey we are about to take on this plane. I pray that no mechanical errors or emergencies happen. I pray for our pilot, that he is alert, sharp-eyed, and steady-handed during this flight.
I pray for our flight attendants that they are friendly, alert, and adequately prepared for our journey. I also pray for my fellow travelers, that they are all in good spirits and in good health. I pray that everyone can get where they need to go safely. In your name, I pray. Amen.
A prayer for good weather during the trip
Dear Lord, I pray for our next trip and for good weather. Things have been crazy lately with blizzards, rains and floods and wildfires all over our country. I pray that the weather is good as we embark on our journey to our final destination. I also pray that it will be good when we return.
I ask that you lift all inclement weather in our great country so that all who travel can arrive and be with their loved ones. In your name, I pray. Amen.
A prayer for families traveling with children
Dear Lord, I pray for our next trip with the children. I ask that you protect their bodies so that no disease occurs while we are away. I pray that they are in good spirits and cause very little distraction on the way to our destination.
Help me discern when they need a break or get some rest during this journey and help us have a wonderful time. In your name, I pray. Amen
