How to Make Your Car a Holy Space

People spend a great deal of time in their cars, and they often think about ways that they can make them nicer. Lots of people choose to get cute decals, spoilers, seat covers, and other things that fit their personalities and their desires. A customized car can be an absolute delight for its owner to admire. 

But in addition to that, something else one can do to make their car something that they really enjoy is by making it a little holy space for themselves. This might not seem like a big deal, but it really is. Between work, hobbies, taking the kids to school, going to appointments, and going on road trips, people spend a lot of time behind the wheel of their vehicles. 

Therefore, it is really important to make it into a place where someone could comfortably strengthen their relationship with God while they go about their daily tasks. Also, that’s not a hard thing to do. There are some very simple touches one can add to their car to accomplish such a thing. 

Place Objects That Remind You To Pray In And On It

Praying is a great way to grow closer to the Lord while driving, but it can be tricky sometimes since drivers should be giving their full attention to what’s going on on the road. Furthermore, it can be even harder for drivers who have others in the car with them. It’s not impossible to do, and the passengers might actually enjoy praying with the driver, but that is not always the case. 

However, one thing a person can do consistently when it comes to making their car a holy space is simply placing items in it and on it that remind them to pray whenever they have a chance to. For instance, some decals drivers can place on their cars say things like “pray the rosary.” And another cool thing this can result in is getting other people who see it to think about saying some prayers as well. 

Decorate Your Dashboard

Just like car decals can remind drivers to pray, other types of car decorations can remind them of holy people and help them meditate on the events that are mentioned in the Bible. Additionally, many such things can be placed on car dashboards, which is great in this case because it allows drivers to see those things constantly without distracting them while they drive. 

One example is a little Virgin Mary figure I own that sticks to the dashboard. It is a constant visual reminder of the woman who brought Jesus into the world, and who is our Blessed Mother. Furthermore, since Mary always leads us to Jesus, looking at it always makes me think about Him. Having decorations like that is a very effective way for a person to make their car a holy space. 

Listen To Christian Music

Listening to Christian music while driving is one of the best ways to make your car a holy space. It’s not a decoration, and it is not anything one can see, but music is very moving. In addition to that, there are some very talented people out there who are great at writing and singing lyrics that remind us of the sacrifice Jesus made for us, and teach us that the Saints had to deal with all the same struggles we have to face every day. 

Many people spend nearly as much time in their cars as they do in their homes. It’s important for everyone to ensure that their cars are places where they feel that they can pray, and even just think about the stories and people mentioned in the Bible, as well as the Saints who lived after biblical times. This might also help a person learn something new about Church history that they had never thought about before. Lastly, if they are not driving alone, this could be a way that the driver can help their passengers learn about the Lord and how much He loves us all.
