Alouette,

I wouldn't hide from them if I were you. Remember you are one of His chosen people for a reason and that reason probably isn't to hide. Not only that, but their purpose is to make people afraid, to terrorize them. If you hide, then aren't they winning that little battle?

Psalm 91 will be my prayer for you:

O thou that dwellest in the covert of the Most High, and abidest in the shadow of the Almighty;

I will say of the LORD, who is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust,

That He will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the noisome pestilence.

He will cover thee with His pinions, and under His wings shalt thou take refuge; His truth is a shield and a buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flieth by day;

Of the pestilence that walketh in darkness, nor of the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand may fall at Thy side, and ten thousand at Thy right hand; it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold, and see the recompense of the wicked.

For thou hast made the LORD who is my refuge, even the Most High, thy habitation.

There shall no evil befall thee, neither shall any plague come nigh thy tent.

For He will give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee upon their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.


Thou shalt tread upon the lion and asp; the young lion and the serpent shalt thou trample under feet.

Because he hath set his love upon Me, therefore will I deliver him; I will set him on high, because he hath known My name.

He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble; I will rescue him, and bring him to honour.

With long life will I satisfy him, and make Him to behold My salvation.'

Psalm 91 will be my prayer for you:

Thanks for the kind thoughts, but don't be so quick to say that Psalm. It's the one we usually say at funerals. :(

Tefillat Haderech ("The Traveller's Prayer) would be more appropriate.

PRAYER FOR TRAVELERS

This prayer is to be said, standing if possible, outside the city on the first day of one’s journey (or sitting in one’s seat as the aircraft lifts off the runway). On subsequent days of the journey until reaching home again, whether on the road or at a hotel, the prayer should be recited every morning, but should be concluded thus:
Blessed are You who hears prayer.

May it be Your will, Lord our God and God of our fathers,
to lead us in peace and direct our steps in peace; to guide us in peace, to support us in peace,
and to bring us to our destination in life, joy, and peace.
Deliver us from the hands of every enemy and lurking foe,
from robbers and wild beasts on the journey,
and from all kinds of calamities that may come and afflict the world;
and bestow blessing upon all our actions.
Grant me grace, kindness, and mercy in Your eyes
and in the eyes of all who behold us,
and bestow bountiful kindness upon us.
Hear the voice of our prayer,
for You hear everyone’s prayer.

Blessed are You, Lord, who listens to prayer!
