Prayers Before Travel
Lord Jesus Christ my God, be my Companion, guide and protector during my journey. Keep me from all danger, misfortune and temptation. By Your divine power grant me a peaceful and successful journey and safe arrival. In You I place my hope and trust and You I praise, honor and glorify, together with Your Father and Holy Spirit now and forever and ever. Amen.
Lord Jesus, You traveled with the two disciples after the resurrection and set their hearts on fire with Your grace. Travel also with me and gladden my heart with Your presence. I know, Lord, that I am a pilgrim on this earth, seeking the citizenship which is in heaven. During my journey surround me with Your holy angels and keep me safe from seen and unseen dangers. Grant that I may carry out my plans and fulfill my expectations according to Your will. Help me to see the beauty of creation and to comprehend the wonder of Your truth in all things. For You are the way, the truth and the life, and to You I give thanks, praise and glory forever. Amen

Hope everything is well with you these days. Nice prayer, and speaking of that, what prayer book would you recommend for a family?
Hi Tracy, Nice to hear from you. I am fine, hope you are well too!
Here is the prayer book we use most often. http://conciliarpress.bizhosting.com/my_orthodox_prayer_book.html I really like this prayer books because it has a really good collection of prayers, the language is simple, it is a good size to fit into a glove compartment or purse (and a good size for little hands too) and the price is right. :sunny:
Thanks! I’m going to order it. You’re right about the price – I saw some on Amazon that were really expensive. I didn’t want to pay that much without a recommendation from someone.
I don’t think you will be disapointed. It is a very practical and beautiful prayer book. :heartbeat:
Tracy I am going to post an article for you about the Mother of God. I saw your question on GM. :sunny:
