Loving Lord, as we prepare to leave for our journey, we pray for travelling mercies over land and sea, and place ourselves under You protective care. Be with us as we set out for our holiday, and we ask that You would keep us safe every step of the way, as we journey to our destination. Go ahead of our route we pray, and we ask that You would prevent any unnecessary hindrances or delays on our travel arrangements. Guard us from the evil one we pray, and stand guard over our home while we are away. Father, into You hands we commend ourselves and place our lives, our journey and our home into Your safe keeping. This we ask in Jesus’ name, Amen.
