Motorcyclist's Prayer

A rider fastens a helmet beside a parked motorcycle at a broad country-road turnout.
Before the journey begins, a quiet moment for care and prayer.

O, dear Father I ask for you to watch over me as I ride from point a to b. Help all other motorists to see me clearly and help me to stay out of their way. Bring me back to my family in one-piece dear God, these things I pray. Amen
