John

All-powerful and ever-living God, when Abraham left his native land and departed from his people you kept him safe through all his journeys.  Protect John as he continues to serve overseas.  Be his constant companion and his strength in every moment of every day, his refuge in every adversity.  Guide him, O Lord, that he may balance the demands of work and family life, and draw him ever closer to you each day.  We ask this through Christ our Lord.  Amen.
