Traveling Mercies

For all of those who are traveling for the Thanksgiving holidays, and especially for my son. This was adapted from the 1906 Presbyterian Common Book of Worship:

Lord God, who reigns in the heavens and on the earth; we ask for your guidance and protection for your servant now leaving on his journey. Against all dangers be his strong defense, and be his faithful friend; keep him in health and heart and prosper the ends of his journey. Guard him, we ask you, from all dangers, from sickness, from the violence of enemies, from every evil; and conduct him in safety to his destination with a grateful sense of your mercies, in the firm knowledge that he is yours, through Christ our Lord. Amen
