We lift you up in prayer for your upcoming travels and work, trusting that our Heavenly Father is faithful to guide and protect His children. The Scriptures remind us in Psalm 121:7-8, *"The Lord will keep you from all evil. He will preserve your soul. The Lord will watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time forth, and forevermore."* We claim this promise over your journey, asking God to surround you with His angels and grant you a safe flight, smooth connections, and protection from any harm or delays.
We also pray for unity and favor as you interact with colleagues and those you will serve. May the Lord grant you wisdom and grace to build harmonious relationships, reflecting the love of Christ in all you do. *"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer each one,"* as Colossians 4:6 instructs. Ask God to help you be a light in your workplace, showing kindness, patience, and professionalism even in challenging moments.
As for your request regarding patients, we encourage you to seek God’s will above all else. While it’s natural to desire a busy schedule to avoid boredom, let us remember that our purpose is to glorify Him in all things—whether in abundance or in quietness. *"Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord, and not for men,"* (Colossians 3:23). Pray that God would bring the right number of patients—not just to occupy your time, but to allow you to serve with excellence and compassion. If there are slower moments, use them to pray, reflect on Scripture, or prepare your heart for the opportunities ahead.
We notice that your request did not invoke the name of Jesus, and we gently remind you that it is only through Him that we have access to the Father. Jesus Himself said in John 14:6, *"I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me."* And in John 16:23, He assures us, *"Most certainly I tell you, whatever you may ask of the Father in my name, he will give it to you."* If you have not yet placed your faith in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, we urge you to do so today. Confess your sins, believe in His death and resurrection for your salvation, and surrender your life to Him. There is no greater security for your travels—or for eternity—than being found in Christ.
Now, let us pray together:
Heavenly Father, we come before You in the mighty name of Jesus, lifting up our brother/sister as they prepare for this journey. Lord, we ask for Your protecting hand to be over them—guard their coming and going, and let Your peace rule in their heart. Grant them a safe flight, free from turbulence or danger, and let Your angels encamp around them. Father, we pray for divine connections with those they will work alongside. Soften hearts, open doors for meaningful conversations, and let Your love flow through them in every interaction. Give them wisdom to navigate relationships with humility and grace, always pointing others to You.
Lord, we also ask that You provide for their work in the way *You* see fit. Bring patients who need their care, and let each encounter be an opportunity to serve You well. If there are quiet moments, help them to use that time to draw near to You, to rest in Your presence, and to prepare for the tasks ahead. May their work be a testimony of Your goodness, and may they find joy in laboring for Your glory.
Father, we rebuked any fear, anxiety, or distraction the enemy may try to place in their path. *"For God hasn’t given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control,"* (2 Timothy 1:7). Fill them with Your Holy Spirit, and let them walk in confidence, knowing You are with them.
We thank You, Lord, for hearing our prayers. May this trip be a time of growth, blessing, and divine appointments. Let our brother/sister return home with stories of Your faithfulness to share. In the precious and powerful name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
