Prayers for the Journey

God of All Places,
Be with the White Memorial Presbyterian Church youth and their adult leaders as they travel to Poland tomorrow for a Mission Trip. Keep our travelers and their families in your safe hands. 


We give thanks for all who have been guided by you, both in the U.S. and in Poland, in planning extraordinary experiences this upcoming week.


"...for he shall give his angels charge over you. To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up..."     Psalm 91:11-12a




Go forth, traveler, in the name which is above every name. Be of good courage. Hold fast to that which is good. Render to no one evil for evil. Support the weak. Help the afflicted. Strengthen the faint hearted. Honor everyone. Love and serve the Lord, rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit.

And may the blessing of the eternal God,
the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, 
be upon your going out and
your coming in.

For in Christ there is no east or west, in him no south or north:
but one great fellowship of love throughout the whole wide earth.
