We lift up your family’s travels before the Lord with hearts full of faith and trust in His mighty protection. The big city can be overwhelming, and the roads can be unpredictable, but we declare that no harm will come near your dwelling, for the Lord Himself is your refuge and fortress. "For He will give His angels charge over you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone" (Psalm 91:11-12). We stand on this promise, believing that God’s hedge of protection surrounds your family every mile of the journey and every moment of your stay.
Father, we ask that You go before them, preparing the way with safety and peace. Calm any anxieties or fears that may arise, reminding them that You are their ever-present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). Cover them with Your wings as they travel, shielding them from accidents, danger, and any schemes of the enemy. We rebuke every spirit of fear, confusion, or distraction that may seek to disrupt their journey, and we command it to flee in the name of Jesus. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their hearts and minds throughout this trip (Philippians 4:7).
Lord, we also pray for wisdom and discernment as they navigate the city. May they be a light in the midst of any darkness they encounter, and may Your presence go with them in every place they visit. Keep them from harm, both seen and unseen, and let Your glory shine through their words and actions. We thank You for Your faithfulness, for You are the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). We trust You to bring them home safely, refreshed, and full of testimonies of Your goodness.
We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus, the name above every name, the One who has conquered death and holds all power in heaven and on earth. There is no other name by which we can approach You, Father, and we are so grateful for the access we have through Christ. May Your will be done in every detail of this trip, and may Your name be glorified through it all. Amen.
