We join you in lifting up your family before the throne of grace and we thank you for inviting us to agree with you in prayer. We are grateful that you have come in the name of Jesus, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and it is in His name that our prayers are heard. As it is written, There is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus 1 Timothy 2:5.
We praise God with you for His grace, that unmerited favor that sustains us each day. For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of God Ephesians 2:8, and His grace is sufficient for us, for power is made perfect in weakness 2 Corinthians 12:9. We give thanks that His grace covers our families, our coming and going, and even the silent burdens we carry in our hearts.
We agree with you for driving protection over your family. We ask the Lord to keep His hand upon you whenever you travel, to give wisdom and alertness behind the wheel, and to guard you from harm and from causing harm to others. We claim His promise that Yahweh will keep you from all evil. He will keep your soul. Yahweh will keep your going out and your coming in, from this time forward, and forever more Psalm 121:7-8, and that He will put His angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways Psalm 91:11. We pray that you will walk in safety and that your foot will not stumble Proverbs 3:23.
We also lift up your silent requests to the Father who sees and knows all. Though they are unspoken to us, they are fully known to Him, for even before a word is on our tongue, He knows it completely Psalm 139:4. We take comfort that in the same way, the Spirit also helps our weaknesses, for we do not know how to pray as we ought. But the Spirit himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered Romans 8:26. We pray that according to His will He will answer each silent petition with His perfect wisdom and love, for this is the confidence that we have in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he listens to us 1 John 5:14.
Let us pray together.
Father in heaven, we come before You in the precious name of Jesus and we thank You for Your abundant grace and mercy toward this family. We thank You for Your love that never fails and for Your faithfulness in every season. Lord, we place this family and all their travels into Your hands. Surround their vehicle with Your protection, guide them on every road, keep them alert and safe from danger, and bring them home in peace. Lord, we also lift up every silent request they hold in their hearts. You know each need, each worry, each hope. We ask that You move according to Your perfect will, grant peace where there is anxiety, provide where there is need, heal where there is hurt, and let Your will be done in each situation. Strengthen this family to continue to seek You together and to trust in Your grace daily. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen.
