traveling mercies

Blessed Father God,

This morning I am here asking Your travel mercies and hedge of protection for our son. It's cold. Rainy. Wet. And his schedule calls for him to drive far and to different places in the most closely timed window.

Our original plan was to travel with him, allowing for high occupancy vehicle shortcuts. This no longer seems the best avenue. Father, while agonizing over this thought throughout the night I was reminded to put him completely in Your care. I do!

The fear. The desire to help. It all washed away as I remembered that placing Him in Your safe and capable hands was a far better idea than trying to run him here and there on our own.

Father God. We love You. We need You. We call upon Your most holy name, depending on You to keep him safe and whole and on time to all his calls. Do in and through and with and for him exactly as You know he needs. Be his comfort and his strength. Bless him. Keep him. Make Your face shine upon him. Be gracious to him. Turn Your face toward him and give him Your peace (Numbers 6:24-26).

Most Dear and Beloved Father God, this I ask in Your Son's most holy name. Thank You Father. I love You. Amen.
