Whether it’s a short drive one town over to visit a new antique store, a quick walk across the street to the neighbor’s, or a last-minute flight for a spontaneous weekend vacation, we ask that you protect us in our weekend travels, Father.

Guide us through our planning, as we map out the best time and means of transportation to reach our destination. Keep our travels smooth and safe. Protect us from reckless, irresponsible drivers and keep us from distractions so that we, too, are not careless in operating our vehicles. Please grant us flights that are on time, with little turbulence, and kind people in the seats all around us.

Father, when we get where we are going, may we see this destination as a means by which we can share your love. Help us see a change of scenery as a chance to rejuvenate our souls, connect with loved ones, and witness the beauty of your world.

May we travel fearlessly with your bravery and courage as our strength, and may we always remember that heaven is the ultimate destination for all of your children.

In your holy name, Lord God, Amen.
