Prayer drill while travelling

[Mary Naeem]

Pope Shenouda III





Prayer drill while travelling:
While on your way, use the psalms, short or special prayers to occupy and lift up your heart to God. You may say:
Forgive me my God and do not take my sins into account. Have mercy on me, You the all merciful God. Save me, O’Lord, from my weaknesses and strengthen me. Bless O’Lord these sacred days, and bless these days of fasting. Allow me, O’Lord, to spend a period of time with Your. Unite my heart to You, O’Lord and fill me with love. Grant me your blessings, O’Lord and assist me. Bestow upon me a blessed and a pure heart. Wash me, and make me whiter than snow. Purify me and save me O’Lord. Protect me from all evil. Partake in this work with me. Let it be according to Your mercy and not according to my sins.
Train yourself in these and other similar types of prayers while on the road travelling. What is important is to keep your heart occupied always with God.
