A Prayer for Traveling and each day

Numbers 10 Perhaps your family is like mine. You plan your trip, pack your bags, and set off, but wait, how about prayer? Moses was following God’s plan to start the journey to the Promised Land. He took time to prepare the Israelites by praying:  “Rise up, O LORD! And let Your enemies be scattered, And let those who hate You flee before You.”

When the Ark came to rest at their next stop, he prayed: “Return, O Lord, to the many thousands of Israel!” When you reach your destination, do you stop and thank God for being with you in your travels?

Just like Moses prayed over them as they began and when they ended, we all need prayer as we start and when we arrive. But why do we wait until we take a trip; why not begin and end each day asking God to go before us and thanking Him when our day ends. And how about asking others to pray for you as well just as Paul did: Brothers and Sisters pray for us!
