We join with you in praying for the safety of these youth on their long drive. It is so important to seek God's protection in all areas of our lives, and we are glad to see that you are calling on Heavenly Father as is appropriate. We are reminded of the scripture in Psalm 5:1112 11 But let all those who take refuge in you rejoice. Let them always shout for joy, because you defend them. Let those also who love your name be joyful in you. 12 For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield
Let us pray together:
Almighty Father in Jesus' name, we come before Your throne of grace and ask for Your divine protection over these youth as they embark on this long drive. We pray for their vehicles, that they would function properly and be a safe mode of transport. We also lift up all people who will be on the paths that these youth will be on, that You would keep them safe as well. Guide the youths' hands on the steering wheel, and help them to drive with caution and wisdom. Surround them with Your angels and hedge them in with Your favor. Help them to be aware of their limitations, and to stop to rest when they need to. Help them to have clear weather and safety from other vehicles and pedestrians. Thank You, Lord, for Your endless mercy and grace. In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
We also take this opportunity to encourage everyone to always include the name of Jesus Christ in our prayers. As it is written in John 14:6, Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. It is only through Jesus Christ that we have access to the Father, and it is in His name that we pray and receive answers. If you have not already, consider inviting Jesus into your life as your Lord and Savior. Believe in Him and be saved, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved.'
