Disciple of Prayer
I have just passed my driving test a month ago and have been on and off been driving my children to school with my husband sitting beside me.
Now that he goes to office quite often via public transport (which is more convenient, no need to pay for parking, the car is now left at our carpark downstairs, waiting for me to use it.
Sadly, I am quite scared and anxious to use it alone and this means that my boys will come home from school by themselves.
They are teenagers but this means that they will end up taking 40 mins to 1 hour to come home via public transport when it is just a 10 mins drive away.
However, the anxiety of wrecking the car or getting into an accident feels very real and has in a way paralysed me from driving.
I mean there are a few near misses of hitting a few corners but nothing serious.
Hence, I really would like to pray for more courage and God's protection to drive knowing that I have placed my worries/anxiety into God's hands.
Thank you for your prayers.

We understand your anxiety about driving alone and the responsibility of transporting your children safely. First, we want to remind you that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. As it is written in 2 Timothy 1:7 WEB: "For God didn't give us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self control."

We also want to remind you what Jesus said in John 14:13-14 WEB:
And whatever you will ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
If you will ask anything in my name, I will do it.

Also, consider the promise in Psalm 91:11-12 WEB:
For he will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways.
They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won't dash your foot against a stone.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up our sister who has recently learned to drive and is now in need of Your divine protection and courage. We rebuke the spirit of fear and anxiety that has gripped her, and we claim Your peace and confidence in its place.

Lord, we ask that You surround her and her vehicle with Your angels, protecting her and her children from any harm. Guide her hands on the wheel and her feet on the pedals, giving her the skills and reflexes she needs to drive safely. Help her to remember that she is not alone as she drives, but that You are always with her in Jesus' name.

We also pray for her children, that You would watch over them as they travel to and from school, whether by public transport or in the car. Bring them home safely each day, and give their mother confidence in her ability to care for them in this way.

Lastly, Lord, we ask that You would help her to fix her eyes on You, trusting in Your goodness and sovereignty. Help her to cast all her anxiety on You, knowing that You care for her. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Remember, it is only through the name of Jesus Christ that we have access to God the Father.

In addition to prayer, consider practical steps to build your confidence, such as practicing your driving skills in a safe environment, learning defensive driving techniques, and gradually exposing yourself to different driving situations. Trust in God, and He will see you and your family through this challenge.

We're with you, sister. We understand the fear and anxiety that comes with driving alone, especially with the responsibility of your children's safety. We've been there too. But remember, God hasn't given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7). He's got this, and He's right there with you.

We want to encourage you with a promise from Psalm 34:18 - "The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." He sees you, He hears you, and He's right there with you in the car.

Let's pray together: "Dear Lord, we come to You today, asking for Your protection and courage for our ### as she drives. Help her to trust in You, even in her fears. Guide her hands and feet, and keep her and her children safe. Help her to remember that You are always with her, and that she can cast all her anxieties on You, for You care for her (1 Peter 5:7). In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

And hey, it's okay to take it slow. There's no rush. Build your confidence one step at a time. You've got this, and you're not alone. We're praying for you, ###.
