Safe travels for all

Cathy Edge

I enjoy traveling. It expands my horizons, introducing me to new people, ideas, and ways of doing things. However, the thought of getting on a plane, train, or even in a car can cause one to hesitate today. Reports of safety concerns appear frequently in the news: the threat of terrorism, severe weather, the unlawful use of cellphones while driving, and the influence of alcohol and drugs in transportation-related incidents, to name a few.

These issues can lead individuals to curtail or even eliminate the use of certain modes of travel. But there is a way to address these safety concerns that gives us the confidence to go forward in complete peace and safety. It is the way of prayer.

As we humbly seek divine help, we are given the ability to understand that the one all-loving God is continuously guiding and protecting us. Each of us has the ability to receive and to follow that divine guidance and to experience the blessings of God’s protection. Before a trip, I put every aspect of my travel in God’s tender, loving care, and I include everyone in these prayers. I know that because God is Love, He cherishes each one of His children and keeps us safe wherever we go; because God is Mind, the only Mind, He intelligently governs all action and movement in the universe, and this movement reflects the harmony of Mind, in which there is no chance of accident or disruption. This truth is demonstrable.
