Protection on the Journey

Our daughters Lissie (19) and Jaynie (18) will both be traveling internationally to different locations within the next 10 days. I'll share more on this in future posts. (See our family blog Unto Him We Live for pictures of the girls.)

Tonight I want to capture a short bit of a prayer I just stumbled upon in The Valley of Vision (see my book list). These few words fit the cry of my heart as we send our babies off. (I've substituted the word "her" for "me".):

"Afford her all the direction, defense, support, and consolation her journey requires, and grant her a mind stayed upon thee." (pg. 119)
