You spend long hours and long miles on the road, away from home and family, carrying the weight of a schedule and the loneliness of the cab. These verses are for truck drivers, for protection on the highway, company in the quiet, and strength for the miles.
What God says over truck drivers
“The LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in from this time forth, and even for evermore.”
Trust the Lord and He will direct your paths, mile after mile.
“Fear thou not; for I am with thee: be not dismayed; for I am thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.”
Lo, I am with you always; you are never truly alone in the cab.
“The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.”
Do your work heartily as unto the Lord, every load and route.
“But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.”
Those who wait on the Lord renew their strength; they do not faint.
“Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.”
Take the miles and the worries to God, and receive His peace.
Where this all leads
The road is long and often lonely, but you are never driving alone. Jesus promised to be with you always, and He watches over your going out and coming in. Talk to Him in the quiet miles; He is better company than any radio. Let Him be your protection, your peace, and your rest at the end of the haul.
Lord, keep me safe on the road today, alert at the wheel and protected from harm. Be my company in the long, quiet miles. Watch over my family while I am away. Give me strength for the haul and bring me home safely. Thank You for going with me. In Jesus name, amen.
You were never meant to walk this alone
The family here will pray with you, and you can hear how Christ has met others in the same place.
Psalm 121:8 ('the LORD shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in') and Psalm 91:11 (angels to keep you in your ways) are ideal for truck drivers, along with Matthew 28:20.
Does the Bible promise protection while traveling?
It promises God's watchful care over our going out and coming in (Psalm 121:8), that He goes before us (Deuteronomy 31:8), and is always with us (Matthew 28:20), so we can travel trusting Him.
