A CHRISTIAN MOTORCYCLIST’S PRAYER
Lord, who am I that You have allowed me this privilege of so fully enjoying the greatness of Your creation with all of my five senses - the wind in my face and ears, and a full view of your world - banking as a bird on the wing in every turn?
I acknowledge it is but your grace and mercy to grant me this blessing, and I pray that in every mile I ride that I might remember, honor and worship You as my Lord, God and Savior; that as I behold your glorious creation with an unrestricted view that my heart might be filled with greater worship for the One who gave His life for my sins and salvation. I pray that somehow my beholding your creation in this way that the love in my heart that I have for You would increase even more – because You first loved me.
But I must quickly acknowledge that I am but a frail and fragile creature whose very existence and safety is always in your divine, loving and sovereign hands. As I ride with the increased danger of traveling in a fallen world without the protection of a steel cage, I therefore humbly ask You for Your divine protection as I ride:
First, Lord, protect me from myself - from my doing things stupid, careless, erring in judgment or not being alert at all times. I am sometimes a fool, sometimes a bit crazy, and You know that I am “but dust”, and I need your grace and protection every moment.
Second, Lord, I ask you would protect me from others on the road – all other fallen creatures like me - who would be careless or inattentive as they drive around me – especially those using their phones, eating, texting, or otherwise not focusing on their driving. Especially help them to always see me and be aware of my presence.
Third, Lord, I ask your protection from all the animals that You have created and that are under your sovereign rule: please keep them from my path as I ride that neither they nor I would be harmed.
Fourth, I ask your protection from objects in the road or mechanical failure which would result in harm to myself or others, and from similar failure in other vehicles near me.
Lastly, most gracious and sovereign Lord, I pray that somehow in my riding that You may open doors for the increase of your kingdom, your glory and praise, that I might minister your grace, love and forgiveness to those who do not know You, and that I be an encouragement and blessing to those who do.
In the most blessed Name of our Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.
