Traveling is exciting, but it can also be nerve-wracking. You have to pack everything, navigate traffic or airports, hope that everything runs on time, potentially board a cramped plane, and figure out how to get to your hotel or destination on the other end. If you're traveling with kids, you've also got the stress of ensuring their bags are packed and hoping they won't have a meltdown in the security line. If you need some comfort to get you through the challenging moments of travel, we have a collection of prayers for safe travel. These prayers remind you that God is watching over you and will keep you safe on the roads, in the skies, or wherever else you find yourself.
These powerful prayers for protection can also be used if you're having anxiety about someone else's travel plans, like your mom's big solo trip or your child's flight home from college. Though it's normal to feel some anxiety, you can work through it by reminding yourself that God's got it all covered.
