JOURNEY

<p><strong>JOURNEY </strong></p><p> Guard, we beg You, all who travel this day by land or by water. Especially hear us for those whom kindred or friendship bind to us. <em><u>Preserve them from all the perils of the way. </u></em> <em><u>May Your protecting wings be spread around them. </u></em> May the pillar of Your presence precede. May Your mercies surround and follow them. Grant that every journey may remind us that we tread this earth as strangers and pilgrims . May we keep our loins girt, our lamps burning, our feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, ever ready to take our last step below. </p><p> </p><p align="justify">[[Category:Prayer]]</p>
