Traveller's Prayer
(a prayer for safe travel)

O Father,

You are always there,
For your love reaches everywhere.
Above the clouds, beneath the sea,
I know your hand will cover me.
Through the darkened starry night,
Again at dawn when all is bright.
Upon the heavens, or over bridges,
Deepest valleys, rocky ridges.
You beside me, o so close,
Knowing when I need you most.

Through different lands of war or peace,
Where suffering stirs or riches twist,
I choose to walk the path you tread,
And carry your wisdom where I'm led.
I’ll bring your peace with every step,
And bless each place I rest my head.
You keep me safe, watch over me,
I choose to put my trust in thee.

Safe Journey Prayer

Father God, I come before you and confess my fears about travelling.
I give you the concerns I have about my safety and security,
and my anxieties in making this journey.
I come to you and lay all these worries down at your feet.

Lord, I choose to put my trust in you.
I proclaim that my faith will be restored in the light of your hope, for you have always kept me safe.
I declare that my love will be renewed in your love for me, for you will hold me firm and steady.
I confess that my mind will be filled with your peace, one that surpasses all my troubles.
Thank you that you are with me now. Here, resting in your presence, I am completely secure.
I am yours Lord. Amen.
