DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

For Those Traveling for the Holidays

Protecting Father,
Plans are in place for family and friends to gather and celebrate this month and especially next week. Direct your angels to watch and keep all travelers safe. Keep drivers on the road well-rested and attentive. Keep pilots in the air alert and focused. Ensure that precautionary steps and safety procedures in all areas of travel are diligently carried out and no corners are cut. Equip first responders and emergency care providers with all of the resources they need to act swiftly to provide help and aid whenever it is needed. Use travelers, too, to be aware and to look out for each other and be a source of help to those in need. Grant patience and discernment to all who oversee the logistics of mass transportation and bless their efforts in the busy days ahead.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen. 

DAILY PRAYERS FOR GUYS

For Access to Public Worship

Heavenly Father,
Sundays are sacred. While we take for granted the ease with which Americans are generally able to attend church, that isn’t the case all of the world. In many countries opposed to Christianity, believers put their lives at risk every time they travel to gather for worship. In other countries, even where Christians are free to worship, geography or distance can make traveling to church a tremendous challenge. For many, poverty puts a strain on reliable transportation. Bless the sacrifices so many believers make just to attend worship, and lighten or remove whatever obstacles stand in their way. Make clear paths readily available to all who desire to come together for worship. Where that isn’t possible, let your Word satisfy and nourish the spirits of your people in other ways.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
