The biggest good news is that ALL are safe. Thank God. Thanks to ALL those who said travel prayers for themselves, for their loved ones, for their friends,for their co-travellers and believe that their prayers were heard.Prayer Before Travel Lord, be with me as I prepare for travel. Calm my fears so that I can begin this trip rested in mind and body. Keep me alert for any dangerous situations I might encounter so that I might arrive at my destination unharmed and secure in the knowledge that, when my trip is over, You will always be there to guide me safely. Amen. Thanks to the Pilot/co-pilot for keeping alert and halting safely.
