Traveling Mercies

I'm reading the book A Way Other than our Own by Walter Brueggemann during Lent.  The prayer at the end of today's reading says, "Self-giving God, call us to walk the road of newness - a new self, a new society, a new world, one neighbor at a time.  May we have traveling mercies this Lenten season. Amen"

If we consider the time of Lent as a journey, and we pray for traveling mercies, what are we asking for? Traveling mercies in a prayer usually means protection from that which might bring us harm - a car accident, an unexpected acute illness, or a plane crash - anything like that that will hurt us or even end our lives, right? So what would traveling mercies on a Lenten journey look like?

• Protection from our own selfishness so that we can be generous and not self-centered as we interact with others.
• Mercy from laziness, maybe, so that we can uphold any commitments we have made to spiritual disciplines during Lent. 
• A graceful nudge of correction when we stumble off the path God has set for us during Lent so that our paths are  made straight.
• Healing from the blindness of not noticing that God is near and traveling with us.
• A loving hug when we forget to love our neighbors as ourselves.

What Lenten traveling mercy would you ask of God?
