What does the Bible say about traveling?
As Christians, we always want to include God in our plans in life. Maybe you or someone you know is on vacation about to go on a trip, if so pray to God for guidance and protection.
Sometimes traveling might seem scary because we’re not used to it and can’t see everything, but God can, and He will keep you safe and watch over you on your journey.
May God guide you and give you peace. I encourage you to be courageous and spread the name of Jesus on your trip.
