Before your next trip, write down one specific thing that makes you anxious about traveling, then read Psalm 121 slowly and pray it back to God by name.

Prayer

Jesus taught His disciples to ask the Father for what they need, including safe passage (Matthew 10:9-10).

Father, I'm bringing my travel before You—the route I'm taking, the people I'll see, the time away from what's familiar. I know You see everything before I do. Give me wisdom to plan carefully, prudence to avoid unnecessary risk, and a settled heart knowing You're watching my coming and going. Keep me safe, keep my mind alert, and let this journey draw me closer to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
