Traveler's Prayer

May it be Your will, LORD, our God and the God of our ancestors, that You lead us toward peace, guide our footsteps toward peace, and make us reach our desired destination for life, gladness, and peace. May You
rescue us from the hand of every foe, ambush along the way, and from all manner of punishments that assemble to come to earth. May You send blessing in our handiwork, and grant us grace, kindness, and mercy in Your eyes and in the eyes of all who see us. May You hear the sound of our humble request because You are God Who hears prayer requests.

Blessed are You, Adonai, Who hears prayer. (A Jewish Travel Prayer)
O God, You called Abraham Your servant out of Ur and kept him safe and
sound in all his wanderings. If it is Your will, protect Your servants.

Be for us a support when setting out, friendship along the way, a little
shade from the sun, a mantle against cold and rain, a crutch on slippery
paths, and a haven in shipwreck. Bear us up in fatigue, and defend us
under attack. Under Your protection, let us fulfill the purpose for our
trip and return safe and sound to our home. Amen. (A Christian Travel
Prayer)
