Below are a variety of prayers to join you in your journey.
REMEMBER TO APPROACH GOD WITH CARE
"Guard your steps as you go to the house of God, and approach to listen rather than to offer the sacrifice of fools; for they do not know that they are doing evil. Do not be quick with your mouth or impulsive in thought to bring up a matter in the presence of God. For God is in heaven and you are on the earth; therefore let your words be few. For the dream comes through much effort, and the voice of a fool through many words."
Matthew 6:9-13 (New International Version)
“This, then, is how you should pray:
“‘Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
as we also have forgiven our debtors.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from the evil one.’
God, grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change
the courage to change the things I can
and the wisdom to know the difference.
_
Living one day at a time,
enjoying one moment at a time.
Accepting hardships as the pathway to peace.
Taking, as he did, the sinful world as it is,
not as I would have it.
Trusting that he will make all things right
if I surrender to His will;
that I may be reasonably happy in this life,
and supremely happy with Him forever.
—Reinhold Niebuhr, 1892-1971
Lord Jesus, please cleanse me of anything that is not of You. Fill me with Your peace, love, and grace. I ask for a hedge of protection and seal this by the power of the blood of Jesus. Amen.
Heavenly Father, by your mercy and power, take what is not of you and by your authority I send it right now to the feet of the True Lord Jesus Christ for You to deal with as you will. Please cleanse me Lord and fill me with your love, peace, and joy (and anything to replace what was sent to Jesus). Fill me, renew me, and may I walk forward in your peace. I ask for a hedge of protection, and seal these things by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen.
Canticle Antiphon
"Keep us Lord as we wake, guard us as we sleep; so may we wake with Christ, and take our rest in peace."
Canticle of Simeon
At last, all-powerful Master,
you give leave to your servant to go in peace, according to your promise.
For my eyes have seen your salvation which you have prepared for all nations, the light to enlighten the gentiles and give glory to Israel, your people.
To the Father, the Son and Holy Spirit give praise and glory for ever.
Canticle Antiphon
"Keep us Lord as we wake, guard us as we sleep; so may we wake with Christ, and take our rest in peace."
Prayer
Visit this house, we beseech you, o Lord, and drive away the snares of the enemy.
May your holy angels dwell here to keep us in peace, and may your blessing be always upon us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
May almighty God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit grant us a quiet night and perfect end.
Amen.
Psalm 91
1 Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High
will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.[a]
2 I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust.”
3 Surely he will save you
from the fowler’s snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.
9 If you say, “The Lord is my refuge,”
and you make the Most High your dwelling,
10 no harm will overtake you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread on the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.
14 “Because he[b] loves me,” says the Lord, “I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call on me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life I will satisfy him
and show him my salvation.”
"O my God, You are with me, and I must now, in obedience to Your commands, apply my mind to these outward things. I beseech You to grant me the grace to continue in Your Presence. To this end I ask that you grant me Your assistance, receive all my works, and possess all my emotions." - Brother Lawrence

Dear Lord, as I embark on this drive, I ask you to keep everybody on the road safe. Favor my fellow drivers and me with your light and endless love. I pray that you’ll help us stay vigilant, alert, and in control of our vehicles so that we cause no harm to ourselves or others.

Grant us kind hearts, competent hands, and attentive eyes. Allow us all- drivers, passengers, and pedestrians alike- to go about our day and reach our destinations without injury or delay. I pray for your blessings and protection. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, Amen.
Any unclean spirit with an opportunity or assignment to oppress me, I command you to listen to me right now. Your assignment is canceled. You will go immediately to Jesus and go where he sends you.
Holy Spirit come. Holy Spirit, cleanse me with living water. Transform me by the renewing of my mind. Comfort me. Fill me with your presence.
*And add anything else you need to receive from the Lord*
I ask that you seal these things by the power of the blood of Jesus Christ. Amen.

“Lord, as You and individuals are establishing an interactive connection, I ask that You appoint representatives for all evil spiritual forces that are and will be present.”
“We command all evil spiritual forces to be bound to the representatives that the Lord Jesus has appointed. You will only manifest and communicate with each other as Jesus allows and requires, you may not assist each other in any way, and you must be cut off from all outside spiritual forces. You must now return to Jesus, and to the individuals, everything you have stolen from them. You must be stripped away from, and release, every part of their mind. You must be stripped of all your schemes, plans, agendas, and orders, and lay these at the feet of the Lord Jesus now.”
“Lord Jesus, we submit to You the issue of compliance. We ask that You would deal with all evil spiritual forces that fail to comply.
“In the name of Jesus, we command all evil spiritual forces: at the moment you fail to comply, you will immediately go to the True Lord Jesus and deal with Him directly.
