Everyone knows how unsafe it is today on the roads, crowded with vehicles driven by not always professionals. Moreover, they are not always sober. When getting behind the wheel of a car, any person wants to return home on time and safe and sound. How to protect yourself, your loved ones on the road, and of course, your car, how to make the journey easy and happy. Prayers and spells for the driver for a safe journey will help us with this.
Remember that when purchasing a car, it is important to illuminate it so that its fate is easy and higher powers protect it.
Protective prayers for a driver on the road
Driver's prayer to the Lord
God, the All-Good and All-Merciful, protecting everyone with His mercy and love for mankind, I humbly pray to Thee, through the intercession of the Mother of God and all the saints, save me, a sinner, and the people entrusted to me from sudden death and all misfortunes, and help me to deliver unharmed to each according to his needs. Dear God! Deliver me from the evil spirit of recklessness, the evil spirit of drunkenness, which causes misfortune and sudden death without repentance. Save me, Lord, with a clear conscience, to live to a ripe old age without the burden of people killed and maimed due to my negligence, and may Thy Holy name be glorified, now and ever , and forever and ever. Amen.
For a short trip or a long road, a daily prayer service performed early in the morning before the road is suitable. Read three times:
“Lord Almighty, Our God, I turn to you for support! I ask You for help, I pray for Your condescension! On the road I find it difficult, there are many obstacles on my way: bad people, crappy thoughts, pressing problems! Protect me, save me, guide me on the true path and help me not to leave it. Make sure that my road is smooth and even, problems and misfortunes are bypassed. So that this is how I set out on the road, and this is how I returned! I trust in Your help, I call for your support! I glorify Your name! Amen!"
Protective prayer on the way for the driver and all passengers
Driver's prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
“Wonderworker Nicholas, protect me from a reckless ride. On the road and on the way, at stops and stages, may the Guardian Angel protect me. Protect me from injuries and abrasions, from collisions and reptiles. Thy will be done. Amen"
Another prayer simple and easy to remember
A talisman against death in an accident.
In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. I ride from field to field, from road to road. I will stand up, stop, humbly cross myself, bow to four sides. Hey you, Odolen-grass! I didn’t water you, I didn’t sow you, I didn’t give birth to you. Mother earth gave birth to you. You grow through a worm, you pass by a dead thing. You have overcome all the burdens of the earth. In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Overcome adversity. Just as you bypass the worms of the earth, the carrion of bones, So I too will pass through the hardships and troubles, I would not know death, I would not lose my blood. I close it with three to ten keys, I wrap it with hoops. Whoever breaks my hoop will not blow the grass. My word is in stone, my deed is true. Amen. Amen. Amen.
How to read these prayers correctly?
You need to be properly prepared for reading prayers. The first condition is that you need to be clean in body, that is, you need to wash yourself before prayer, put on clean clothes, and if you pray at home, you need to wash the floors.
It is also necessary to maintain purity of thoughts, no envy, evil, foul language, blasphemy and other vicious thoughts, only good, bright thoughts and desires.
Next, you need to retire to a room, close your eyes, imagine that you are standing before God, wait a little until all the feelings inside calm down and thoughts leave your head. Light a lamp, if you have the priest’s permission to do so, and, slowly, begin to pray, saying word by word, making the sign of the cross.
Parable “About Silent Prayer”
Prayer has enormous power, but only when it is sincere, when at the moment of prayer a person is completely immersed in the world of God, forgetting about worldly affairs. To confirm this, I would like to tell you a small legend about silent prayer:
One elder thought about why so many people go to church, pray, but their lives remain the same. One day, in such thoughts, he fell asleep and dreamed of an Angel who lifted him high above the ground. And only quiet gentle sounds were heard there.
“These are Orthodox prayers, the prayers of people who, forgetting about worldly affairs, selflessly pray to God. The rest of the prayers are not heard here" -
said the Angel.
A conspiracy to keep the car from breaking down
To complete the spell you need a handful of salt. Early in the morning, after reading the general prayers, throw three pinches of salt on the hood of the car, reading the words three times:
“Where my salt falls, there is no place for damage, no evil eye, no breakage, no failure, no scratches, no dents. With a strong conspiracy word, I affirm my words, turning them into deeds forever and ever. Amen."
Always remember, God protects those who are worthy of this protection. Follow the traffic rules, respect other drivers, and be careful.
Take care of yourself and your loved ones. Good luck on the roads.
How to pray for your loved ones for a driver
His relatives should also support the driver along the way with prayer. The prayer of a wife, mother, and children can save them from terrible dangers. A conciliar (joint) request has always been more effective. The Lord willingly accepts it, because people in this way show him their unity in thoughts, prove their love, necessity, and importance of a loved one.
You can use all the funds that the Church gives:
- order lithium;
- special mention during the litany (the whole temple will hear and pray);
- Psalms for health.
Everywhere you need to put a note about travelers. Usually, with such strong support, the road goes like clockwork.

The driver’s prayer should not distract him; he cannot cross himself or bow while driving; this must be done in advance. If the car is not blessed, you can sprinkle it with holy water. However, one should not attribute any magical properties to prayer. You must carry out maintenance and take care of timely rest yourself. Guardian Angel!

We advise you to study Name Icons
Prayer requires rules
The most effective effect is achieved by prayers read on the territory of the church; believers turn to heavenly powers and at home. When coming to church, it is recommended to read a prayer in front of the icon of the saint to whom the appeal is directed. Light a church wax candle, concentrate, imagine a happy close relative returning from a long journey. Concentration on the image of a loved one is very important when reading the words of the prayer to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
Imagine favorable travel conditions, think how happy you will be when your loved one returns home, and how you will greet him. Perhaps on the road, your son or husband will need some item that reminds you of home.
An ideal option is a towel, which, according to tradition, mothers gave to their sons before a long journey.
Prayer alone will not be enough; you should pray regularly during your loved one’s travels, even after returning. A prayer for loved ones traveling to distant lands, for example, truck drivers, is read from a pure heart; it is not recommended to be distracted.
The most effective prayers
Pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker; practice shows that the saint is able to take care of wandering loved ones.

On the way, the traveler is given holy water, over which the process of the first prayer took place. The text is read aloud or silently, the main thing is to remember it and repeat it regularly.
One of the most powerful prayers created specifically for traveling relatives (this applies to air travel) is the prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It is called “Prayer for people preparing to travel.” It is recommended to read the words opposite the face of the Virgin Mary. If there is no such icon at home, just light a candle.
Truckers and ordinary drivers spend most of their time on the road, so their loved ones say a prayer to the Lord for them.

May God help you in your wonderful work! My husband went to the capital on business. The road there is very dangerous: there are many accidents, and people are often robbed. I thought I was going crazy! I rewrote the prayer “For the driver” and gave it with me. He read it during stops (a 6-hour drive one way). The trip was easy and fast. Came back safe and sound! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Thank you. God bless you. You
Save and preserve, LORD, me and my son Vladislav on our journey. Amen.
Prayer for flying on an airplane
Flying on an airplane is no different from flying a car, it's just a different type of transportation. Prayer for traveling by plane will calm you both psychologically, if you are afraid of flying, and spiritually. There is a special prayer for people going on air travel, which must be read before the flight.
“Lord Jesus Christ, our God, command the elements and contain the whole handful, whose deeps tremble and whose stars are present. All creation serves You, all listen to You, all obey You. You can do everything: for this sake, you are all merciful, Most Blessed Lord.
So even now, Master, accepting the warm prayers of these Thy servants (their names), bless their path and the air procession, forbidding storms and contrary winds, and keeping the air boat safe and sound. Giving them a saving and calm passage through the air and the good intention of those who accomplished it, they will return joyfully in health and in peace.
For You are the Savior and Deliverer and the Giver of all good things, heavenly and earthly, and we send glory to You with Your Beginning Father and Your Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen".
Why do people pray to the Holy Saint
The most popular Saint to whom people turn in prayer before going on a long trip is St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. Very often, in a minibus, in a taxi, or just in a car, you can see the image of St. Nicholas the Pleasant, and even if the driver does not believe in God, he believes that the Holy Pleasant prevents serious accidents.
One driver's brakes failed, and at the last minute he remembered St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and began to ask for help. The car stopped a few meters in front of the obstacle. Drivers are sociable people; they tell stories of miracles of salvation from death at the mention of the Saint.
Despite traffic police rules and fines, the number of accidents on the road is not decreasing. If a serious and careful driver is driving a car, the culprit of the traffic accident may be another dashing driver. Therefore, any vehicle is a source of increased danger and is subject to compulsory insurance. It became popular for the new machine to illuminate and place the image of the Saint.
The life of Nicholas the Wonderworker was shrouded in many miracles, and after his death he was elevated to the rank of Saint and close to the Lord. Therefore, asking Saint Nicholas for help is tantamount to turning to God.
Amulet for the road
In addition to the image of St. Nicholas, it is recommended to take your own amulet on the road. Because it is during travel that talismans, amulets and amulets enhance their magical effect.
If you don’t have a personal magical item, then before your trip it’s time to get one. You can choose something according to your horoscope depending on your year of birth. You can also use the experience of our ancestors by making a traveling bag of earth from your yard.
Prayer for the road is an excellent option for a person who is about to travel or move. Such a ritual protects him from various kinds of troubles, problems, bad people and magical influences. Read the prayers exactly according to the instructions and believe in their effectiveness. Only in this case will the rituals help you and your loved ones.
Doxology for Beginning Drivers
Many drivers, especially beginners, have icons of saints in the interior of their cars as a talisman.
Driving for the first time always comes with some emotions, which can lead to unexpected traffic violations and accidents. An Orthodox prayer will help here, which will instill confidence in a novice driver and protect him from troubles.
The driver must make a talisman for himself. To do this, you need to take a piece of paper, copy the petition onto it and sew it into a scarf with a bag. The holy amulet must be kept with you, close to the body while driving.
