We join with you in prayer for your travel and for this visit, and we thank you for asking in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is through Him we have confidence to approach the Father.
We pray for the Lord's protection over your going and your coming. We are reminded of His promise in Psalm 121:7-8, 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, For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. We trust that as you commit your way to Him, He will make your paths straight, as it is written in Proverbs 3:5-6, Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don’t lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight.
We also lift up your time in this city and your visit with your friend who does not yet believe. What a precious opportunity the Lord has given you to be a light. We pray that your visit would be guided by the Holy Spirit and filled with joy, peace, and fellowship, and that your life would reflect Christ so that others may see Him in you. As Jesus said in Matthew 5:16, Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven. We encourage you to walk in wisdom and grace, to be ready to share with gentleness the hope that is in you, and to keep your own fellowship with the Lord strong while you are away, not being conformed to the world but being an example of His love and truth.
We pray together, Father in heaven, we thank You for our brother and for his desire to honor You in his travels. In the name of Jesus Christ we ask that You bless and protect his journey to this city and his return tomorrow. Keep him safe from all harm, accident, and delay, and let Your hand guide every step, every road, and every meeting. We ask that You anoint this entire visit, that You move powerfully in every conversation and every moment, and that You grant him a wonderful time of refreshment with You and with the people he meets. Fill him with Your joy and peace, let him be encouraged in his faith, and use him as a witness of Your grace to his friend, that his friend may see Your love and be drawn to seek You. May all that is done bring glory to You and further Your will. We ask this in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior, amen.
We encourage you to continue to acknowledge the Lord in all your ways during this trip, to spend time in prayer and in the Word each day, and to trust Him for safe travels and for divine appointments. May the Lord bless your going out and your coming in and make this visit fruitful for His kingdom.
