Heavenly Father,
As we celebrate Columbus Day,
we pray that You will empower us to use our vision
and our ability to explore new frontiers in ways
that are pleasing to You and are empowering to all people.
Make us willing to challenge false notions about our world
just as Columbus challenged the false notions of his day
that the world was flat.
Guide us, provide for us, protect us,
and be with us on our journey.
Keep us close to You in prayer and help us remain
ever thankful when we reach our destination.
