Dear friends,

Four years ago I sent in a prayer request for our Heavenly Father to bless me with a safe flight to see my family for Thanksgiving. Thanks be to God both flights were fantastic and it was an amazing Thanksgiving 🙂 I remember getting off that flight and having tears of joy & relief, thanking God for having mercy on me. After giving thanks for sparing me, I promised God that I would try to do better in life. Well, I’m ashamed & embarrased to admit I haven’t really kept my end of the bargain. Not that I’m an extremely horrible person, but I made a promise to God that I haven’t kept; there’s no excuse for my weakness and cowardice.

This December, I’m trying to plan another trip for my fiance and I to see my family for Christmas, which of course, involves flying a great distance. This time, it has me really spooked. I’m fearful that because I didn’t keep my promise to God, I’ll be punished by losing my life on a fatal flight. I haven’t even booked my ticket yet, and I’m already having heavy anxiety and terrible thoughts. I’m ashamed to admit I have weak faith, and I know it sounds selfish of me to ask God’s forgiveness and protection yet again (can’t really blame Him if He chooses not to listen to my prayers). I’m only 34 and my life has just barely begun to turn for the better. I would love nothing more than to have the chance to redeem myself and live a good life through God’s teachings. There’s so many foreign places I would love to have the privilege to see, and I really want to have the chance to make a good lasting impression in this life.

Friends in Christ, please pray to God to have mercy on me, to help me gather the courage & strength to really live a better life, and to please not let my flight in December be my last. I just want to have the chance to live.
 
Our father who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
Thy Kingdom come
Thy Will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven
Give us this day
Our Daily bread
And forgive us our trespasses
As we forgive those
Who Trespass against us
Lead us not into Temptation
But deliver us from evil
Amen

I’ll pray for you to have courage.

Remember - statistically its safer to fly over the ocean in a plane than it is to get in your car to drive to work each morning. You will be fine. Go to confession and mass in the days before your flight - there you will find forgiveness and courage.
 
As the Forum member suggested go to Confession, Mass and tell the Lord that you still Love HIM , and put your hand in the Lord’s Hands, and tell HIM - In you I Trust.

So now start again, the Lord always forgives
 
Saint Michael, the archangel, defend us in battle, be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil, may God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do you, O’ Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God thrust into Hell Satan and all the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls.

Amen.

†

Our Father who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven.

Give us this day our daily bread.

And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.

And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.

Amen.

†

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee.

Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb Jesus.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death.

Amen.

God keeps forgiving. Unlimited forgiveness is bestowed upon us.
May we all learn how to forgive as He does.

Praying for your intentions & to St. Christopher for you to have a safe flight.
 
Praying that the Lord may grant you strength and courage. Also praying for all necessary graces for you and for your safe travels.

O Blood and Water, which gushed forth from the Heart of Jesus as a fountain of Mercy for us, I trust in You!
 
Hi guys/gals,

It’s been a rough week. My mind has been plagued w/images of death & catastrophe. I don’t know why all of a sudden I have this gut feeling this flight in December will be fatal. I know the stats of safe flying, but all it takes is that 1 flight… I’m sorry, forgive me if I sound selfish but I’m not ready to die yet. There’s too much that I still want to do in life; I’ve only just begun to see things turn for the better. Right now, my emotions want to take the easy way out & not fly. I know that decision will absolutely crush my family this December, but what can I do? If I’m already having shortness of breath & sharp chest pains now, 10 months away, how am I going to survive a 6 hr plane ride. I just wish I had reassurance that this will NOT be the end for me. I wish I had reassurance that God plans for me to get married and be a good husband, provider & caretaker of my parents.

Forgive me Lord, forgive me for my weakness. I pray you don’t take me off this Earth just yet…please.
