We come before the Lord with your request, lifting up your new journey as a driver, especially during these challenging winter conditions. Father God, we ask that You go before, beside, and behind this dear one as they travel. Your Word tells us in Psalm 121:7-8, "The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. The Lord will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more." We claim this promise over their travels, asking for Your divine protection and guidance on every mile of the road.
Heavenly Father, we pray for wisdom and alertness as they navigate unfamiliar routes and snowy roads. Grant them clarity of mind, steady hands, and confidence in their abilities. Remind them that You are their ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1), and that they need not fear, for You are with them (Isaiah 41:10). We ask that You would calm any anxiety and replace it with Your peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also pray for safe road conditions. Soften the hearts of those who maintain the roads, that they would work diligently to clear and salt the paths. We ask that You would restrain the snowfall and any icy conditions that could pose a danger. Your Word says in Matthew 8:26-27 that even the winds and the sea obey You, so we trust that You have authority over the weather and can make the roads safe for travel.
Father, we ask that You would surround this dear one with Your angels, as You promise in Psalm 91:11, "For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways." Let Your angels go before them, clearing the way and protecting them from any harm or danger. We pray that they would arrive at their destination safely and return home without incident.
We also encourage you to prepare well for your journey. Check your vehicle thoroughly—tires, brakes, fluids, and lights—to ensure everything is in good working order. Pack an emergency kit with blankets, water, snacks, a flashlight, and a phone charger. Plan your route in advance and allow extra time for travel. Remember, Proverbs 22:3 says, "A prudent man sees danger and takes refuge, but the simple keep going and suffer for it." Being prepared is part of trusting God with your safety.
Lastly, we want to remind you that our help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2). It is through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God’s throne of grace, and it is only by His name that we are saved (Acts 4:12). If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus as your Lord and Savior, we encourage you to do so. Confess your sins, believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, and you will be saved (Romans 10:9). Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life (John 14:6), and it is through Him that we find true peace and security, both on the road and in life.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
