Flying is not on my 'Fear' list, but for many people it is.
My friend's daughter is one of those people, and flying is a time of high stress and anxiety for her.
She was recently booked on a flight for a vacation destination with her husband.
My friend called me and asked me to pray for her daughter,
In my prayer I asked that God show them in some visible way that He was in control
and that He would melt her anxiety.
The young couple finally boarded their plane, the wife barely holding it together.
The plane's engines roared to life and the plane taxied down the run away, gaining speed for take off.
When it reached the end on the runway, the plane slowed
and the pilot's voice sounded over the intercom.
"We will not be taking off. Our engine just failed. We will attempt to repair the engine.
You may remain on the plane, but it will be about a seven hour wait."
Now completely frantic, the wife decided no way was she going to fly on this plane.
They needed to find another flight.
There was only one, leaving in about five hours.
She managed to book on that flight, securing the last two seats on the plane.
Finally, they boarded, their seats being among the least desirable, in the back of the plane.
They safely took off and had just unbuckled their seat belts,
when a stewardess stopped in the aisle beside them.
Leaning toward them she asked,
"We happen to have two vacant seats in 1st class. Would you like to move up?"
Yes!
Not only did God stop the defective plane before it took off
but upgraded their seats to the luxury of 1st class.
Was God's care 'visible' ??
Yes, indeed.
"Casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you."
