A Prayer for Travellers on the Way of Souls


“Wealthy the spirit that knows its own flight...
Blessed the traveler who journeys the length of the light.”
— Dan Fogelberg, “Nexus”




Rarely do we know what lies at journey’s end,
Yet we are called—
yea, pulled, phoenix-like,
from the cold ashes of the comfortable past,
and through the dark mysteries of the present—
and invited to dream the dawn.

No easy task; for who would care
to venture forth in darkness,
knowing surely only what comes behind—
and yet, like Orpheus, not daring
to look back, lest we gain the light of day again,
and lose the prize?

And often, our dreamings seem at variance
with those of those around us.
Who’s to know, or how to tell,
Which of us is right?

But this, it seems, is my journey.
Someday, perhaps, I’ll know where I am,
If not where I am going.
Lord, have mercy — will you follow,
to keep me safer on the trail?

I have no longing for any life
that must be passed where eyes
are all too often made of ice and steel.
Give me unreality, or at least the safety
of my illusions—
and may they, or something very like them,
someday supplant this so-called “real” world
and leave instead a place where all
may dream in safety
the coming of a new dawn.

This is an English translation of the traditional Jewish prayer for travellers. Tefillah HaDerekh

"May it be Your will, Lord, My God and God of my ancestors, to lead me, to direct my steps, and to support me in peace. Lead me in life, tranquil and serene, until I arrive at where I am going. Deliver me from every enemy, ambush and hurt that I might encounter on the way and from all afflictions that visit and trouble the world. Bless the work of my hands. Let me receive divine grace and those loving acts of kindness and mercy in Your eyes and in the eyes of all those I encounter. Listen to the voice of my appeal, for you are a God who responds to prayerful supplication. Praised are you, Lord, who responds to prayer."

Beliefnet [1] has prayers -- from a variety of faith traditions -- for the safety of travelers, and for safe journeys on land, air & sea.

Here's one example:
"May it be Your will, Lord my God, to lead me on the way of peace and guide and direct my steps in peace, so that You will bring me happily to my destination, safe and sound. Save me from danger on the way. Give me good grace, kindness and favor in both Your eyes and in the eyes of all whom I may meet. Hear this my prayer, for you are a God who hears to the heart's supplication and communion. Blessed are You, Lord our God, who hears prayer."

Another page [2] at Beliefnet offers this prayer:
"Alone with none but thee, my God,
I journey on my way.
What need I fear when thou art near,
Oh king of night and day?
More safe am I within thy hand
Than if a host did round me stand."
~ St. Columba (521-597)

I hope these pages offer prayers of comfort & support to you & your wife during her travels.

Lord, you are sovereign in all of your creation. Protect and guide me as I set out to travel. Make my ways safe and my homecomings joyful. Let me have your wisdom so that I make good and right choices in all the places that I go. Give me safe traveling companions and let me not be lonely. and please protect me and my family.
Amen.
