Our hearts this morning are with the travelers

All the people moving across our planet

In the air, on the water, on the land

Carried aloft by machine

Pushed across the sea by wind

Rolling on the highway in a bus or a van or a car

Placing one aching foot after the other.

Moving to be reunited with family

Or leaving family behind

Traveling for an adventure

Moving to a new life

Full of expectation

Full of uncertainty

Unsure of the language

Unsure of the future

Excited, scared, exhausted, eager

We pray for the safety and the peace of all the travelers

We pray that every byway be a place of welcome and rest

May the find what they seek

May they be blessed by the journey

And whether their home is ahead of them or behind

May they find their way home.
