PRAYER FOR TRAVELERS
A traveler should recite this prayer on the first day of his journey, after leaving the city limits. On subsequent days of the journey until returning home, the prayer should be said every morning, but the final blessing should be said without God's name, as follows: בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה, שׁוֹמֵעַ תְּפִלָּה. If possible, the prayer should be said while standing.
May God protect us on our travels
