The Commuter’s Prayer
By: Robert Crutchfield
Obviously people have been driving, and i’m sure praying about it for a long time. However no matter what the subject, when it comes to prayer some people need a little help with the words. For just that reason I wrote this short simple prayer several years ago.
Get me where I need to be, without accident, incident, or interruption. I ask this of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, with overflowing gratitude for all that I have received before. Amen !
There are three things I want to point out to you about my little prayer,
It acknowledges Christ as the personal savior of the person praying. This is important because it is Christ’s command that we pray for our needs, which gives this or any prayer its authority.
It also calls to attention that many different things can befall us on our daily journeys.
Lastly it expresses gratitude for what has already been given. This to me is a very important teaching point. I believe would have much better prayer lives if we would make a habit out of asking out of gratitude. We should do a better job of being grateful for those things we have already been given. We should be just as grateful, in advance for the things we are asking for.
I hope you will pray my little prayer often. May Almighty God always be with you, as you travel along your daily journeys.
