Lord, I am about to depart, and I entrust this journey into Your hands. You who guard my going out and my coming in, extend Your protection over every mile of this travel. Guide the vehicles that will carry me, and grant wisdom to those who drive. Keep me from accidents, delays, and all harm. May I arrive at my destination in peace and safety.
