We join with you in prayer for all those who are traveling over the weekend. Let's lift up their journeys to the Lord, asking for His protection and guidance.
In the words of the Psalmist, "For he will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their hands, so that you won't strike your foot against a stone." (Psalm 91:11-12 WEB).
Let's pray:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You, lifting up all those who will be traveling this weekend. We pray for their safety and protection. May Your angels go before them, preparing the way, and guard them in all their journeys. We ask that You would guide them to their destinations and bring them back home safely.
We also lift up their family members, Lord. We pray for unity and harmony among them. May their interactions be pleasing to You, filled with love, joy, and peace. We ask that You would help them to communicate effectively and resolve any conflicts in a godly manner putting others first and being a servant. We pray in Jesus name that they would not speak falsely about each other or cause trouble, but instead, that their words would be life-giving and encouraging. May no unwholesome talk come out of their mouths, but that You may help them to only say what is helpful for building others up according to their needs. (Ephesians 4:29)
Lord, we also pray for those who may be tempted to cause trouble with false information. We ask that You would convict their hearts and bring them to a place of repentance as they act according to Your will. We pray that You would help them to be honest and truthful in Jesus name. Please help them to be examples of your love and grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
We encourage everyone to be mindful of their actions and words. This is applying the greatest commandment by loving God and loving others as themselves. (Matthew 22:37-40)
Remember, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue; and those who love it will eat its fruit." (Proverbs 18:21 WEB). Let us strive to speak life and blessing over and to others.
Lastly, we appreciate that this request was made in Jesus' name. It is only by His name that we can approach our God. It is also only by Jesus other people can be saved. This is why our prayers are powerful and effective in His name.
