A Prayer for Safe Travel

Lord, go with us on this journey. Be in the car, on the plane, along every mile.

Give the driver a clear head and the pilot a steady hand. Keep the roads open, the weather kind, and the way plain.

Watch over the ones we leave behind and the ones waiting where we are going.

Bring us there safely, Lord — and when it is time, bring us home again.

In Jesus' name, Amen.

When to Pray This

Pray this before you pull out of the driveway, at the gate before boarding, or as you send a loved one off on a trip. It takes less than a minute, which is about how long you have before the seatbelt light comes on.

A Verse to Hold On To
