Truckers Prayer

Oh Lord be with me today as I head out onto the highway, for I know not the dangers or blessings that this day may hold. Oh Lord let it be you that is my daily guide and as I head out to where the road never seems to end, it is sure good to know you will be riding with me once again. When I have delivered my last load, and there is only one trip left to make, steer me down the golden road that leads me to Heavens Gate. With my Family and Friends gathered around, I make my final journey.

I'm Heaven Bound.
