Prayer for traveling grace

Your grace will keep them safe O Lord
Like a river that leads their way.
Your love will guide their footsteps
As a friendly arm that holds them safe.

Your hope will rise across the skies
For they travel to adventures new.
Your peace will hold them through the night
While they journey safe with you.

Prayer for safe travel for my husband

O Lord, be in front of my love as he travels
Bringing protection and peace.
Be behind, watching and covering him
At every point of his journey.
Be beside him, as companion and comforter
May he know your presence.
Be beneath him, when he is worried or weary
Watch over his sleep.
Be above him, for you are his Father
Come carry him safe till journeys end.

Amen.

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.
