A prayer for the journey

I came across this prayer the other day which seems suitable as I prepare to set out-

Beckoning God,

you promise long journeys and new names.

Call us out to risk holy adventure

with unusual table companions.

Linger with us

so that we may be faithful disciples,

touching the fringe of your healing

on behalf of all your children. Amen.

I am not sure that I want too many ‘unusual companions’ though!
