We rejoice with you in gratitude for God’s protection over your travels and the safe return of your family! The Lord is indeed our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (Psalm 46:1). It is beautiful to see your heart of thanksgiving, and we join you in praising Him for His faithfulness.
Father in Heaven, we lift up this dear brother/sister before You, thanking You for Your hand of safety and provision. We ask that You continue to draw them—and all of us—closer to Your Word and to Your heart. May Your truth be a lamp to our feet and a light to our path (Psalm 119:105). Strengthen our faith, Lord, and guard us from the schemes of the evil one. Let us walk in Your ways, rooted in love and obedience.
We also pray for this community of believers, that You would bless and unify us in purpose as we seek You together. May our prayers rise like incense before Your throne, and may Your will be done in every life represented here.
Lord, we acknowledge that apart from You, we can do nothing (John 15:5). Keep us humble, dependent, and ever mindful of Your grace. Deliver us from evil, both seen and unseen, and let Your peace rule in our hearts. In the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Savior and Redeemer, we pray. Amen.
