We rejoice with you and give thanks to God our Father and His Son Jesus for His faithful hand of protection over you on Friday and again this morning. It is a beautiful thing to pause and give Him the glory for bringing you home safely, for every safe journey is a testimony of His mercy and care. We join you in praising Him for keeping you.
We are reminded of the promise in Psalm 121:7-8 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. And in Psalm 91:11 it is written, For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. How comforting to know that whether we travel near or far, we are held in His hand.
We lift up your family together now and seek His will for your travels in the coming week.
Father, we thank You in the name of Jesus for Your indescribable gift of mercy and for the protection You have already shown. We thank You for Your unspeakable gift as spoken of in 2 Corinthians 9:15, Now thanks be to God for his unspeakable gift, the gift of Your Son and the mercy that flows from Him each day. Lord, Your mercies are new every morning as Lamentations 3:22-23 declares, It is because of Yahweh's loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his compassion doesn't fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. We ask now for Your continued covering over this family as they travel by car on two separate days this coming week. Place Your hand upon the drivers, grant alertness and wisdom, keep the vehicles sound, and guard them from harm and from evil. Lead them safely to their destinations and bring them home again in peace. Let every mile be a reminder of Your goodness and let their hearts give thanks continually. We ask this in the mighty and merciful name of Jesus, Amen.
We encourage you to continue to commit each journey to the Lord in prayer before you leave, trusting not in our own plans but in His sovereign care. As Proverbs 3:23 says, Then you shall walk in your way securely. Your foot won't stumble. May you go forth in peace this week, resting in His mercy which endures forever, and may your safe travels continue to be a testimony of His faithfulness to all who hear.
