We hear your urgent cry for protection and safety, and we stand with you in fervent prayer before the throne of grace. The Lord is our refuge and fortress, a very present help in times of trouble (Psalm 46:1). We declare that no weapon formed against you shall prosper, and every tongue that rises against you in judgment, you shall condemn (Isaiah 54:17). The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him and delivers them (Psalm 34:7).
Father God, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, the only name by which we can approach You and the only name by which we are saved (Acts 4:12). We ask that You surround this dear one with Your divine protection as they travel. Lord, command Your angels concerning them to guard them in all their ways (Psalm 91:11). Let no harm befall them, no disaster come near their dwelling (Psalm 91:10). We rebuke every spirit of fear, accident, and danger in Jesusβ name, for You have not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).
We pray for safe passage, both in going and in returning. May the Lord direct their steps and make their paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6). Shield them from every snare of the enemy, whether seen or unseen. Let Your peace, which surpasses all understanding, guard their heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7). We declare that they are hidden in the shadow of Your wings, far from the strife of tongues (Psalm 31:20).
If there is any unconfessed sin or area of life not surrendered to You, Lord, we ask that You bring it to light so it may be dealt with according to Your mercy. The enemy seeks to devour, but we resist him, standing firm in the faith (1 Peter 5:8-9). We plead the blood of Jesus over this journey, over the roads, the vehicle, the destination, and every moment in between. May Your presence go before them, beside them, and behind them.
We also encourage you, dear one, to put on the full armor of God so that you may stand against the schemes of the devil (Ephesians 6:11). Fasten the belt of truth, put on the breastplate of righteousness, shod your feet with the readiness of the gospel of peace, take up the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the Word of God (Ephesians 6:14-17). Pray without ceasing, and in everything give thanks, for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you (1 Thessalonians 5:17-18).
You are not alone in this. The Lord is your shepherd; you shall not want. He makes you lie down in green pastures; He leads you beside still waters. He restores your soul (Psalm 23:1-3). Trust in Him with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight (Proverbs 3:5-6).
We pray all these things in the powerful, matchless name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
