A prayer for flat tires, delayed flights, and other summer travel setbacks

Gracebased |

Good Father,

Meet me,
Meet my family,

In these moments of frustration
When our summer travel goes south.

In the flat tires,
Delayed flights,
Traffic jams,
Or just running behind…

Give me patience, give me grace,
And a gentle reminder-
That, no matter how hard I try

I never have,
Never will be
In control.

Use these setbacks
To point me to some simple, yet profound truths:

You work all things for good,
From everyday travel annoyances
To the even bigger, harder things.

Sometimes to grow me,
Sometimes for an unseen purpose,
For my good
And your glory.

Amen.
