O our God, the true and living way, traveling with your servant Joseph, travel the Master and your servant name, and deliver from all troubles and slander, and peace and arrange beneficial packages: doing all righteousness according to Your commandments, and being filled with worldly and heavenly blessings, you will be pleased to return.

For yours is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, now and forever, and to the ages of ages, amen.

Prayers before setting sail
Troparion, tone 2

To You, Savior, those who resort / and from Your all-powerful right hands of help and blessing, / as from the Creator and Lord of those who seek, do not despise; / but as sometimes on the sea / the word of silence by the Apostle You gave to yours,/ and now grant them quiet and serene sailing with health,/ through the prayers of the Mother of God,// To the One who loves mankind.

Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

Troparion, tone 5

To those who have placed all their hope in Thee, O Savior,/ be a helper and a deliverer,/ and bless the good intentions of their journey,/ let us all glorify Thee,// the One and only Giver of all blessings.

And now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Troparion, tone 5

We take refuge under Your protection, Virgin Mary, / do not despise our prayers in sorrow, / but deliver us from troubles, / One Pure and Blessed One.

Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, our God, who sailed together with His holy disciples and apostles, calmed the stormy wind and, by His command, calmed the waves on the sea! Himself, Lord, accompany us on our voyage, calm every stormy wind and be a Helper and Intercessor, for You are a Good God and loving people and we bring praise to You, the Father and the Son and To the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer before departure on air travel

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 will listen, all will obey You. You can do everything: for this reason, you are all merciful, Most Blessed Lord.

So even now, Master, accepting the warm prayers of Your servants (their names), bless their path and aerial procession, forbidding storms and contrary winds, and keeping the air flow intact and unharmed. Giving them a saving and non-stormy passage through the air, and a good intention for those who made it to have fun in health and return 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 ages of ages. Amen.

Psalm 26

Lord is my enlightenment and my Savior, whom shall I fear? Lord, Protector of my life, from whom shall I fear? Sometimes you come close to me with malice, even if you tear away my flesh, those who insult me ​​and attack me, you become weak and fall. Even if a regiment rises up against me, my heart will not fear: even if it rises up to fight against me, I will trust in Him. I have asked one thing of the Lord, and I will require this: that I may live in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, that I may behold the beauty of the Lord and visit His holy temple. Because He hid me in His village in the day of my evils, He covered me in the secret of His village, He lifted me up on a rock. And now, behold, I have lifted up my head against my enemies: I have eaten and devoured in His village a sacrifice of praise and shouting: I will sing and sing praises to the Lord. Hear, O Lord, my voice, which I have cried, have mercy on me and hear me. My heart says to you: I will seek the Lord, I will seek your face, O Lord, I will seek your face. Turn not Thy face away from me, and do not turn aside with wrath from Thy servant: be my helper, do not reject me and do not forsake me, O God, my Savior. For my father and mother abandoned me, but the Lord will receive me. Establish the law, O Lord, in Thy way, and guide me on the right path for my enemy’s sake. Do not betray me to the souls of those who afflict me: for I have stood up as a witness of unrighteousness, and lied untruthfully to myself. I believe in seeing the good Lord on the earth of the living. Be patient with the Lord, be of good courage, and let your heart be strong, and be patient with the Lord.

Psalm 90

He who lives in the help of the Most High will dwell in the blood of the Heavenly God, says the Lord: You are my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap and from the words of rebellion: His splash will overshadow you, and under His krill you hope that His truth will surround you as a weapon. Do not fear from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies in the days, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the attack and the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will be at your right hand, but it will not come near you: behold your eyes and see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope: You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not approach your body {your village}: as His Angel commanded you about you, to keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, lest you dash your foot against a stone: tread on the asp and the basilisk, and cross over the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in tribulation, I will destroy him and glorify him: I will fulfill him with the length of days and show him My salvation.
