Prayers for New Drivers
Heavenly Father,
We’re thankful for our new drivers and ask for your help. As they pass their driving test and start driving, please give them the wisdom to make wise choices on the road.
Help them see that even a “little distraction” can be a potential for a big distraction and ignore it. Keep them from using cell phones while driving so they stay focused on the road.
Teach them to follow traffic laws because they’re there to keep everyone safe.
We trust you to guide and protect them as they learn the importance of responsible driving.
In your name, we pray.
Amen.
Great God, I pray for overwhelming safety for my new driver. But also I pray for them to have a good time wherever they go. We only get to be young once and I realize that. Of course, I wouldn’t complain if they could have a good time and share the good news as well, but I thank you for giving them a chance to be kids while getting a small taste of responsibility and adulthood. Give me peace of mind as they venture off and give us both sharp eyes for Your will and Your way. In the mighty name of Jesus, Amen.

Conclusion
Whenever I drive, I consider it prayer time. The people you see driving on the road- you may be the only prayer of protection today for them. It is also a great way to pray for someone that you most likely never pray for that person again, so it’s a cool one-time opportunity.
It is also a great time to pray for law enforcement and that people respect them as well as traffic laws.
Let us know if you need any other helpful prayers and we will be happy to provide them!
