Perhaps someone you love is setting out before sunrise. Perhaps you are facing a decision and wishing you knew which way to turn. These prayers give you words for both moments.
As someone leaves home.
Heavenly Father, watch over the person walking out my door today. Give them patience on the road and good judgment when plans change. If they need help, bring someone kind within reach. Settle my heart as I let them go, and give us grateful hearts when we meet again. Amen.
When a decision is unclear.
Lord, I have turned this decision over so many times that I hardly know what I think. Help me see the facts clearly. Bring to mind someone wise I can ask for counsel. Give me courage to take the honest next step, even if it means changing my plans. In Jesus’ name, amen.
