Every journey begins with a step — and every step needs divine covering.
The road may look calm, but the unseen realm is never silent.
That’s why wise travelers pray first before they move.
God’s Word in Psalm 121:8 declares, “The Lord will watch over your coming and going both now and forevermore.”
That means every trip — short or long — is under His watchful eye.
No accident, delay, or danger escapes His sight.
When you commit your journey to Him, He assigns angels to go ahead of you.
