In the book of Ezra, chapter 8, Ezra assembled all of the exiles at the Ahava Canal, on their way to Jerusalem. He had lists of all the people, and had discovered that not one single Levite was among them.
He sent leaders on to the Levite territory, to ask for ministers for the Lord's Temple that they were going to build. Since they did it in honor and love of God, He graced them with a Levite man named Sherebiah, along with many descendants.
Before they went on their way, they fasted and humbly prayed to God for safe passage. They prayed that He would protect them from their enemies. He heard their prayer. With many treasures in their possession, they made the long journey without incident.
Whenever you have a difficult task, pray to God for guidance. Pray to God that all will go well. God may not always keep you completely free from troubles, but He will only allow enough that you can handle.
Praying for God's guidance is a good habit to get into. You'll be amazed at what He can do in your life.
