We join you in bringing ### before the throne of grace and we count it a privilege to pray with you for his safety.
We ask our heavenly Father to spread His protection wonderfully over him as he travels. There is a shelter that is safe indeed, for He has promised to cover us with His feathers, and under His wings we may trust. We pray that ### may know not only protection from outward danger, but that sense of comfort and happiness which makes the child of God feel at home under the shadow of the Almighty. Amid all the uncertainties of the road, how safe we are when embarked in the good ship of Providence, with such a Captain who has foreordained all things and whose superintendence fails not.
We pray also as you have asked, that he may be kept from bad company. We know from observation and from Scripture how association with the ungodly tends to make even the careful Christian like those around him, and how difficult it is to keep free from the contamination of such company. A doubtful jest, a little deviation from strictness, and a man is committed farther than he thinks. So we pray with greater earnestness for his soul than even for his body, saying, My God, keep him day by day from sin, defend him from evil. For we are more afraid of sin than of any outward peril.
We take comfort in the promise that He shall give His angels charge over him, to keep him in all his ways. This protection is personal and perpetual to those who rest in God through faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, for there is no other name by which we may come to the Father, and no other argument that can prevail with God in prayer but for Christ's sake alone.
May the Lord keep ### in his going out and his coming in, preserve him from danger, deliver him from every evil companionship, and bring him safely through every appointed way, that whether at home or abroad he may be found safe, safe, safe and near our God. We ask this in the worthy name of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
