A Peaceful Prayer for Flight & Air Travel

Dear God,
As I board this plane, I pray that Your peace fills my heart and this entire plane. Thanks to the wisdom of the engineers who built this aircraft and the skill of the pilots who take us safely to this day. Please take care of our flight. Guide the pilots and keep their hands and minds calm. May our journey in the sky be easy, peaceful and safe.
When the plane shakes or my mind fills with anxiety, remind me that no matter how high we fly, I am never far from You. Hold me in Your love and care, and let me sit peacefully in my seat until we land safely.
Amen
Now you can close your eyes, lean your head back, and relax. God is with you even above the clouds.
