Finding Purpose on the Open Road
Being a long-haul truck driver has its ups and downs, but lately, I’ve been feeling a deeper yearning to make my time on the road count for something more than just a paycheck. I’ve met some hurting people at various stops who seem so lost and broken. I want to share the Gospel with them, but I often feel uncertain about how to approach these conversations. I’m asking for prayer that God would give me divine opportunities to witness and the wisdom to share His love effectively. I desire to reflect Christ’s compassion and hope in my words and actions, but I find myself hesitating. Please pray for my boldness and clarity in these moments.
Pastor's Response
Pastor James Okafor

Dear Samuel, your desire to reflect Christ’s love to others during your travels is truly commendable. It’s a blessing to want to make your work a mission field. Remember, the Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit (Psalms 34:18). Your presence can bring comfort and hope to those who feel lost. God has called us to be His hands and feet in a world that desperately needs Him, and your openness to share the Gospel is a beautiful step toward fulfilling that call. Pray for God’s guidance as you approach conversations, and He will provide you with the right words at the right time (John 14:26). Every time you express your faith, you plant seeds of hope that can blossom into change. Trust in God’s perfect timing. Let us pray together: Lord, give Samuel the courage and wisdom to share Your love with those who need it most. Amen.
