"TRAVELING PRAYERS"

DO YOU TRAVEL FOR EITHER BUSINESS OR PLEASURE? MANY OF US DO FROM TIME TO TIME.SOME PEOPLE TRAVEL CONSTANTLY. TRAVEL IS A TWO-EDGED SWORD- IT CAN BE EXCITING AND ENRICHING, BUT IT CAN ALSO BE DRAINING AND UNSETTING. AS YOU FIND YOURSELF AWAY FROM HOME AND LOVED ONES, AND MISSING THE SUPPORT AND COMFORTS YOU'RE ACCUSTOMED TO, ANXIETY CAN ARRIVE. AND THEN THERE'S THE CROWDED AIRPORTS AND BUSY, UNFAMILIAR ROADS TO CONTEND WITH. WHERE CAN PEACE BE FOUND ON THE ROAD? WHEN TRAVELING, LET BOTH YOUR SENSE OF ADVENTURE AND YOUR DISCOMFORTS BE YOUR PRAYERS. GOD'S STEADY PRESENCE CAN BE A GREAT SOURCE OF COMFORT IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE EVERYTHING ELSE IS DIFFERENT.

>THINK OF EACH TRIP AS A SORT OF PILGRIMAGE, A JOURNEY OF FAITH.

>WHILE AWAY, REFLECT ON THE MEANING AND BLESSINGS OF HOME.

>WHEN TRAVELING, PRAY FOR A SPIRIT OF ADVENTURE AND AN OPENNESS TO THE NEW.

>RESPECT AND CELEBRATE THE DIVERSITY OF PEOPLES AND CULTURES YOU ENCOUNTER.
