When I fall on my knees

with my face to the rising sun,

O Lord, have mercy on me.

Prayer Corner 28

Traveling Mercies

by Angie Rebert

Psalm 121:7-8

The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go.

Traveling mercies is a frequent prayer request that comes up throughout the year. Expectations of adventures away from home base with family and friends are high. Concerns about weather, delayed/canceled flights, health and mobility issues, car maintenance, and dangers on the road or air can steal part of the joy of travel.

Sometimes we pray by the car before we start our journey for safe travels. Sometimes we pray as the journey unfolds and unexpected challenges come up. Sometimes prayers from others seem just perfect for our needs. I like the prayer below:

I know, O God,

that wherever I travel

you will be with me.

There is nowhere I can go,

No situation I can face,

which is outside your love and strength;

and so I commit myself

into your care and keeping

on this journey,

knowing that at all times

I am in your hands.
