A Prayer for Safe Travel
Before a journey, a prayer for protection and peace, trusting the Keeper who watches over your going out and coming in.
Father, watch over me as I travel today.
Keep me and those I love safe on every mile.
Give me peace on the way and a safe arrival.
Go with me, for You are my keeper who never sleeps.
In Jesus' name, amen.
“The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”
Psalm 121:8
You don’t have to pray alone
On The Living Bread you can ask the family of God to pray for you and watch prayers be answered, or pray for someone else who needs it today. It is free, and you are welcome exactly as you are.

Questions people ask
What Scripture is a prayer for safe travel built on?
It rests on Psalm 121:8. The prayer above is written in plain words around that passage, and the verse is quoted from the stored text, not from memory.
What if I have no words to pray for safe travel?
Start with the first line of the prayer above and stop there if that is all you can say. God hears the first honest sentence. You can also ask the family of God on The Living Bread to pray with you and for you.
Can I pray this for someone else?
Yes. Change the first person to their name and pray the same lines for them. Praying for others is part of loving one another, and you can ask the family of God to join you.
Pray this
Father, you are already present in Safe Travel, before any of us arrive. We bring you safe travel, anxiety, peace. Teach us to love one another, as you have loved us. In the name of Jesus, amen.
