“In an effort to raise awareness and honour the lives lost, the dreams unfulfilled, and the families forever changed by road accidents, we humbly request your support in offering a special prayer (attached) during your service on the 22nd of September,” the Managing Director says in the letter addressed to the Local Ordinary of ADN.

He continues, “As part of your service, we invite you to join the rest of the nation in praying for safer roads and fewer accidents.”

“Together we can advocate for change and work towards reducing the number of lives lost on our roads,” Mr. Theuri further says in his letter in which he describes AA Kenya as “the leading mobility solutions provider in the region and the first driving school in Kenya.”

The entity he oversees, he says, “is deeply committed to championing road safety”.

Road Accidents prayer: 22 September,2024

Heavenly Father,

We come before you with heavy hearts, lifting up the souls of those who have tragically lost their lives in road accidents. We ask that you welcome them into your eternal embrace, granting them peace and rest in your loving presence. Comfort their families and friends who mourn their loss, and surround them with your grace and strength.

Lord, we also pray for wisdom and guidance for all stakeholders involved in road safety. Grant us the insight and determination to implement effective measures that will protect all road users. Help us to prioritize safety, make wise decisions, and work collaboratively to reduce accidents and save lives. 

May your divine protection be upon all who travel, and may your wisdom guide those responsible for ensuring our roads are safe including policymakers, implementers, drivers, riders, and pedestrians. 

We trust in your infinite mercy and love, believing that we can create a safer world for everyone through your guidance. In Your Holy Name, we pray. Amen.
