Traveling Mercies Meaning

The term “traveling mercies” does not appear in the bible, but there are hundreds of examples of God showing mercy for others. Mercy is God’s compassion or concern for us even though it is within His power to punish or harm us.

A traveling mercies prayer is said for someone who is going on a trip or starting a big journey. In the 19th century, these prayers were commonly said for missionaires, preachers, and volunteers who were traveling on behalf of the church. During those times travel was dangerous and unpredictable.

Today, prayers for traveling mercies are said for anyone that is embarking on a journey, whether that be by plane, train, car, boat or even on foot.

While it is easier and faster to travel than it was in the 19th century, when this term became popular, there are still many dangers in foreign lands. We need God’s protection now more than ever and we ask for his mercy through prayer.

Now It's Your Turn

And now I want to hear from you.

Traveling is ubiquitous in our lives. From day to day work commutes to going on a trip or vacation with our family or friends, we are constantly traveling. And we thank God that traveling has also been made easy. We can turn to many modes of transportation to bring us to our desired destinations. However, traveling still remains a stressful activity. We worry about safety, the sudden change in weather, missed flights, or lost luggage. The list of what can go wrong while traveling is endless and daunting. How and what can we do to deal when such a situation arises? We can turn to our God and say a quick prayer for safe travel. 

Biblical characters like Noah ( Genesis 7:1-24 ), Abraham ( Genesis 12:1-20 , Genesis 13:1-18 ), and Moses ( Exodus 4:18-31 ) have also embarked on several epic journeys. They would have fervently prayed for a safe journey and blessings. Similarly, we should also pray each time we go on a trip. I personally believe that prayer for safe travel is a powerful thing to do before any trip. By praying, we are inviting God and trusting Him that He will get us to our destination, safe and sound. Here are some short prayers for travel that we can pray before traveling. 

1. A Short Prayer for Safe Travel

Help me get to my destination and get home safely. Help me to experience Your greatness and love during this trip so that I may draw even closer to You. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen. 

Psalm 121:7-8 The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life. The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.

Know Your Christianese: Prayer Edition

travel mercies sentence

More By Joe Carter

travel mercies sentence

A young associate pastor accompanies his mentor to a private meeting of pastors from around the country. As they take their seats the host says, “To start us off, let’s have a few rounds of the best jokes.”

An elderly minister stands up and says “37,” and everyone laughs. Another yells “49,” and the crowd cackles hysterically. This goes on for a while, when the young pastor turns to his senior and says, “I don’t get it, numbers aren’t funny.” His boss explains that since the same folks attend this meeting every year, they know all the jokes. Instead of wasting time by telling the same jokes everyone has heard, they just tell the punch lines, which they’ve numbered to save time.

The associate, wanting to fit in with his colleagues, jumps up and yells “44.” When absolutely no one laughs, he sits down, embarrassed and confused. The old pastor leans over and says, “You told it wrong.”

Christianese Spoken Here

Whether we’ve been in the church for a few days or several decades, we often find—like this young pastor—certain terms or phrases that everyone but us seems to understand. Like most groups, we Christians have our own insider language, technical terminology, or characteristic idioms that only those in the know can comprehend. It can be frustrating when we hear such jargon and don’t know what exactly it means or where it came from. Too embarrassed to ask for a definition, we flip through our Bibles or search through a concordance to find elusive explanations.

As an aid in translating “Christianese” (and because we aren’t sure what the terms mean either), The Gospel Coalition is putting together an ongoing series to explain the meaning of obscure phrases that Christians use when we talk to our fellow believers. In this inaugural article, we’ll examine a few terms often associated with prayer.

Hedge of Protection

Example: “The congregation will be praying a hedge of protection around John and Jill as they go off to college this fall.”

Explanation: “If somebody didn’t know that Christianity’s roots began in a rural, agricultural area (such as the near Middle East),” says Tim Stewart, creator of the Dictionary of Christianese website, “it wouldn’t take them long to figure it out, judging by the language we use when we pray.”

As Stewart explains, in the Bible hedges are mentioned as secure barriers around vineyards (Isaiah 5:5; Mark 12:1), and Satan refers to God’s protection and favor on Job as “a hedge around him” (Job 1:10). Christians likely adopted this imagery and language from Job 1:10. The prayer is often invoked (e.g., a hedge around, about, or even over the person being prayed for) as a request for God to protect a person from threats both spiritual and physical.

Prayer Warrior

Example: “We’re going to ask Sister Betsy, one of the congregations most ardent prayer warriors, to pray a hedge of protection around Jill and John.”

Explanation: “Effective intercessors who are greatly used by God in prayer are at times referred to as ‘prayer warriors,’” former missionary Wesley Duewel says in his book  Touch the World Through Prayer . “It is correct to use the term in this way, for great prayer demands doing battle with the forces of evil.”

The Bible doesn’t use the term “prayer warrior,” though the warfare imagery is biblical. In Ephesians 6, Paul tells believers to,

Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the schemes of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers over this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand firm. Stand therefore, having fastened on the belt of truth, and shaving put on the breastplate of righteousness, and, as shoes for your feet, having put on the readiness given by the gospel of peace. In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.

Covet Your Prayer

Example: “As our family faces this difficult time, we covet your prayers for John and Jill.”

Explanation: In the Ten Commandments, God clearly says, “You shall not covet” anything that is your neighbor’s (Ex. 20:17, ESV). So why do some Christians say they “covet” our prayers?

In modern usage, the term covet is almost exclusively used to mean “to desire wrongfully.” But in many of the older translations of the Bible, such as the King James Version (1611), the word was used in both a positive and a negative sense. Like the NIV and ESV, the KJV uses the term “covet” in the negative sense, such as in Exodus 20. But the KJV also uses the term positively, such as in 1 Corinthians 12:31, when Paul admonishes us to “covet earnestly the best [spiritual] gifts.” Newer versions translate that phrase as “eagerly desire” (NIV) or “earnestly desire” (ESV) rather than “covet earnestly.”

When Christians say they “covet your prayers” they simply mean they earnestly desire that you pray for them.

Traveling Mercies

Example: “Please pray that God will give Brother John and Sister Jill traveling mercies as they head out on their mission trip to the Congo.”

Explanation: In Luke 10:25, Jesus tells a parable that begins, “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and he fell among robbers, who stripped him and beat him and departed, leaving him half dead.” We tend to gloss over this part of the parable, treating it as the setup to the entry of the good Samaritan. But for Jesus’ original audience—and for most people prior to the 20th century—such dangers encountered while traveling were all too real.

There is no record of frequent travelers in the Bible, like the apostles Peter and Paul, ever asking for “ traveling mercies .” The phrase appears to have become popular in the late 19th century and was used at first almost exclusively of church workers on a long journey for the purpose of ministry work. In the 20th century, however, the phrase began to be used in asking for God’s blessings and protection on believers traveling for any reason.

Bonjour! My son's Texas in-laws often wish people " travel mercies " when they are about to go on a trip. This expression appears to be rooted in the Southern Baptist tradition, and converys "May God's mercy be with you and protect you from the inconveniences/difficulties/dangers associated with traveling." It is especially meaningful to hear when one is traveling for sad/stressful reasons or into danger, when "Have a good trip!", with its implication of enjoyment, just doesn't seem appropriate. Comment dirait-on cela en français? Cette expression a un sens religieux qui manque chez "bon voyage". Merci d'avance!

Hunter Biden found guilty in gun trial that exposed dark parts of his life

Short deliberations led to conviction on all three counts.

WILMINGTON, Del. — Hunter Biden was found guilty of felony gun charges in federal court Tuesday, ending a trial that exposed some of the ugliest moments in the life of the president’s son and put on national display the first family’s pain, heartache and regrets.

The jury concluded that Hunter Biden, 54, lied about his drug use when he filled out a form to purchase a gun in October 2018 and then illegally owned that weapon as a drug user for 11 days.

The jury deliberated for a little more than three hours before finding him guilty on all three counts. Biden nodded, but otherwise showed little emotion when the verdict was read. He then hugged each member of his legal team and said thank you.

Biden walked out past the defendant’s table, hugged and kissed his wife, Melissa Cohen-Biden, and left the courtroom, shaking the hands of friends and family along the way.

Hunter Biden found guilty

travel mercies sentence

In a written statement after he left the courthouse, Biden said he was “more grateful today for the love and support I experienced this last week from Melissa, my family, my friends, and my community than I am disappointed by the outcome. Recovery is possible by the grace of God, and I am blessed to experience that gift one day at a time.”

The gun trial, which lasted just over a week, showcased years of internal behind-the-scenes drama in the Biden family, with relatives taking the witness stand. The proceedings also played out against the backdrop of President Biden ’s reelection campaign, with Republicans seizing on Hunter Biden’s legal troubles to try to portray the entire Biden family as corrupt.

The trial also showed the wrenching reality of prosecuting a drug addict, particularly one who has been open about his battles and says he has been sober since 2019. After the verdict, one juror told The Washington Post that he didn’t believe Hunter Biden belonged in prison and that he felt bad that his daughter had to testify about her father’s drug use.

U.S. District Judge Maryellen Noreika and prosecutors had warned the jurors that “sympathy” shouldn’t play into their verdict. In the end, after a trial that included painful testimony from Biden’s romantic partners and readings of his text messages, jurors were asked to decide whether he lied on a form when he purchased a gun and then illegally owned it as a drug addict.

President Biden said in a statement that he loves Hunter and is “proud of the man he is today.” Biden said earlier that he would not pardon his son if convicted, and he repeated that Tuesday.

“I will accept the outcome of this case and will continue to respect the judicial process as Hunter considers an appeal,” the president said. “Jill and I will always be there for Hunter and the rest of our family with our love and support. Nothing will ever change that.”

Special counsel David Weiss, who has overseen the investigation of Hunter Biden for years, said in a brief address to reporters after the verdict that the gun case “was not just about addiction, a disease that haunts families across the United States, including Hunter Biden’s family. This case was about the legal choices the defendant made while in the throes of addiction. It was these choices and the combination of guns and drugs that made his conduct dangerous.”

Weiss, who is preparing to put Hunter Biden on trial again in September on tax charges, said the verdict illustrated a basic principle of American justice.

“No one in this country is above the law. Everyone must be accountable for their actions, including this defendant,” said Weiss, who also signaled that when it came to Biden’s sentence, the president’s son should again be treated like everyone else.

The most serious charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison, but as a first-time offender, Biden will probably get a much lighter sentence and may not go to jail.

Biden’s defense lawyers argued that prosecutors did not offer a drug test or other concrete evidence that he was on drugs when he bought the gun, or that he took drugs while the gun was in his possession. Prosecutors told the jury in closing arguments that they did not have to prove those details and that their responsibility was to show Biden knew he was a drug user and that he was addicted to them at the time of the October 2018 purchase.

If the trial evidence does not conclusively prove Hunter Biden was a crack addict in 2018, “then no one is a crack addict,” prosecutor Derek Hines told jurors in his closing argument Monday. Hines mocked the defense claim that Biden, a Yale-educated lawyer, was somehow confused by the paperwork questions that come with buying a firearm.

“The same laws apply to the defendant just like they would to anyone else,” Hines said.

His fellow prosecutor Leo Wise alluded to the frequent courtroom presence of first lady Jill Biden and much of the Biden family, telling the jury: “People sitting in the gallery are not evidence.”

Defense lawyer Abbe Lowell accused prosecutors of performing a kind of magic trick for the jury — trying to get them to focus on something other than the most critical evidence. Lowell said prosecutors were trying to twist Biden’s words of recovery — particularly how he described his once-frequent drug use in his autobiography — into damning admissions.

A 2018 text in which Hunter Biden called himself a “liar,” “thief” and “addict” was not an admission but a “cry for help,” Lowell said. Prosecutors “spent hours, literally hours, recounting Hunter’s terrible journey through alcohol and drug abuse,” Lowell said. Biden never used or loaded the gun, Lowell told the jury.

The gun charges Biden faced are rarely brought as stand-alone counts without being linked to other alleged crimes. The charges against Biden grew out of a long-running federal investigation into his taxes and business deals in a period during which his father was vice president and after he left that office.

In an interview with The Post, Juror No. 10, a 68-year-old White man, said the jury did not discuss politics. Joe Biden’s name “was brought up once during trial, when it sunk in a little bit: The sitting president’s son on trial. … That was hard, but you kind of put it out of your mind. … I don’t think it was politicized,” said the juror, who declined to give his name over concerns that he could face public recriminations.

The juror said that when the panel began deliberating, its members were evenly divided 6-6 on whether to convict, but as they discussed the evidence they quickly became unanimous for conviction.

He also said it was sad to hear testimony from Hunter Biden’s daughter, Naomi Biden, who was called as a witness by the defense. “No daughter should ever have to testify against her dad,” the juror said.

“I really don’t think that Hunter belongs in jail,” the juror said, though he added that Biden’s own book provided much of the critical evidence against him.

“Hunter didn’t testify, but by all counts he did testify through the book because that was his words,” the juror said. “And he chose to have it audio — so when you have it audio, and he’s writing that book and he’s telling you, ‘I’m an addict’ — that has to play a part. You can’t help but not think of him admitting to himself that he was an addict.”

Last summer, Hunter Biden agreed to a deal with prosecutors that would have involved admitting to the facts of the gun case. But the deal fell apart amid scrutiny from the trial judge and disagreement over whether Biden would get immunity from potential additional charges.

Prosecutors called witness after witness to testify about Hunter Biden’s rampant use of crack cocaine after the death of his brother, Beau, from brain cancer in 2015. The witnesses included Hunter Biden’s ex-wife, Kathleen Buhle, and Beau Biden’s widow, Hallie Biden, with whom Hunter Biden had an on-again, off-again romance between 2016 and 2019.

They offered text messages and anecdotes detailing Hunter Biden’s alleged drug use around the time of the gun purchase and failed attempts to help him. In one key text message from Hunter Biden days after he bought the gun, he told Hallie he was “sleeping on a car smoking crack.”

Hunter Biden’s personal life by all accounts has become more stable in the last few years — with his marriage to Cohen-Biden and a young son named Beau after his late brother. But the legal threats he faces have escalated.

He is scheduled to go to trial in Los Angeles on federal tax evasion charges in September, two months before Election Day. That trial involves the same federal prosecutors, who are expected to outline the various ways in which Biden was spending his money. According to the indictment, much of it went to “drugs, escorts and girlfriends, luxury hotels and rental properties, exotic cars, clothing, and other items of a personal nature, in short, everything but his taxes.”

In Delaware, prosecutors opened their case by playing a recording of Hunter Biden reading from his revealing memoir, in which he disclosed in great detail how he would buy drugs and use them and spoke of various women he slept with in hotels around the country. Trial exhibits included photos displayed on a large screen in the courtroom, showing him passed out from drug use or in a bubble bath with a woman.

Hunter Biden has said he’s been sober since around 2019. His book was a confessional in some ways, and he has tried to repair relationships that were broken by his years of debauchery. He has also tried to adopt a more public profile and to push back against Republicans in Congress and elsewhere who have been his most vocal critics.

Throughout the trial, various family members filled the rows behind the defense table where Biden sat. His mother, Jill Biden, tried to be there almost every day, traveling back and forth from France so she could attend the trial in between joining her husband for commemorations of D-Day and a state dinner with French President Emmanuel Macron.

Almost every time Hunter Biden entered or left the courtroom, he kissed Jill Biden on the cheek, then kissed his wife and walked hand in hand with her on the way out.
