Do not be afraid-for I am with you!   Isaiah 43:5 (Today's English Version)

Every time I go to work I must travel on an airplane. This requires a lot of trust in a lot of people from the fueler of the plane to the pilots. I have no trouble believing they will do their jobs and I will arrive safely.

Sometimes I wonder why I ever had doubts that God would always be with me. I have come to believe that God is with me on each flight and find myself sitting in the jump seat during turbulence with a calm feeling knowing God is with me. After many years of flying, I have learned that I am not in control of the airplane or my daily life.

I have learned to listen to God with a much more open heart and know he is with me no matter what happens.

Prayer:  God, help us to remember you are with us always.
