Vacations are a time to unwind, refresh, and reconnect—with loved ones, with creation, and most importantly, with God. 🌅✈️ But even as we travel, our hearts long for peace, protection, and purpose. In today’s video, we offer a heartfelt vacation prayer—asking for God's presence to go with you wherever you rest, roam, or relax. Whether you’re heading to the mountains, the beach, or just enjoying a weekend getaway, this short prayer will help center your soul and invite God into every part of your journey. 🙏 Prayer for Vacation Travel Lord, As we step away from the rhythms of daily life, we invite You to be near. Go before us on every road, every flight, every hotel, and every walk. Protect our comings and goings, fill our moments with laughter, rest, and renewal. Help us to lay down stress and to pick up gratitude. Remind us that we are never outside Your care—whether on the highest mountain or the quietest shore. Keep our hearts open to Your beauty, Your stillness, and Your love. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
