Ezra prayed and fasted for a safe journey and protection as they traveled.
Ezra 8:2121]Then I proclaimed a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God to seek from Him a straight and right way for us, our little ones, and all our possessions.
It’s essential—whether you’re setting out on a grand adventure or just a quick trip—to pause for a moment and pray for a safe journey. Trust me, you never know what might happen if you skip this step!
When Ezra gathered with the exiles, preparing to return to Jerusalem from Babylon, they didn’t just pray; they took it up a notch and fasted for their journey. And guess what? The LORD granted them a safe passage! Talk about divine travel insurance!
Now, let’s reflect with a couple of questions:
a) How often do you pray for your journey?
b) What happened when Ezra and his crew fasted and prayed?
Confession Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, I am grateful for the wisdom of your word, and I promise to pray before I embark on any journey. Amen!
