When giving this prayer, the traveler can begin by recognizing the infinite possibilities of their wonderful journey ahead.
They can thank for the beautiful land they will cross, follow the rules of the road, be generous and kind to other drivers and passengers, be awake to potential dangers along the wayside, and remember that they are blessed en route on their adventure.
Taking time out of rushing around and planning trips to ensure safety every step of a road trip goes a long way!
