Prayer for Travel
(A prayer for protection and safety to say before traveling)

Lord Jesus,

Thank you that you are with us by the power of your Holy Spirit. Please come and work within our hearts and calm any fears we hold as we travel.

You are ahead of us smoothing our pathways.
You are beneath us, holding us securely.
You are behind us, watching our backs.
And Lord we take your hand firmly now, until we reach our destination, because you are beside us.

Thank you.

Our trust is in you.

Amen.

Prayer for safe travel for a loved one

Shelter them on their journey
Keep them day and night
Protect them from any danger
On land, sea or in flight.
Encircle them with angels
Carry them each day
Until they reach their journeys end
Be with them Lord we pray.

Quote from Phil 4:6-7 on the peace of God

Prayer for safe flight

Dear God,

Please watch over me as I fly out today. May your hand be on the pilot and crew, your strength be in the engineers that prepare the plane and your wisdom over the control teams on the ground.

I choose to trust in you, and give you my fears and anxieties. May I find peace as I travel. Take my heart on a journey of trust and hope as I look out over the beautiful world you have made.

I travel with you.

Calm me and cover me,

Amen.

May The Road Rise Up To Meet You
(A beautiful Irish blessing appropriate for sending to a loved one when they are traveling)

May the road rise up to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face;
the rains fall soft upon your fields
and until we meet again,
may God hold you in the palm of His hand.
