Loving Lord, thank You that You are with us through all the twists and turns of life and that wherever we go, You have promised to be with us and have given us Your assurance that Your presence will accompany us to lead and to guide, to protect and to help. Father, as we set out on this journey today, we ask that You would travel with us.Keep us alert to the difficulties and dangers that we may encounter along the way, and undertake we pray, that nothing unforeseen may delay or hinder our journey, whether it be mechanical, the weather or any other unforeseen problem. We also pray that we would be kept by the power of God in the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace, and that this may be a journey where You are lifted up in our thoughts as well as well as our prayers.Thank You, Lord, that in all things we may come to You and offer our prayers and petitions to You, knowing that You hear and answer all Your children. Thank You, in Jesus’ name,Amen.
