I work out of Ft Pierce, FL, and I have become aware of an accident at Ari-Ben Aviator. A 19 year old British girl was killed in La Belle, FL while on her 3rd solo (a cross-country). This has inspired me to give you guys/gals a starting place for prayer. I believe it has nearly been forgotten in this field. Pray before every checkride with your instructor, pray before every flight. PRAISE after every time you kill the fuel! Please don't publish these as your own. These are prayers (possibly not very good ones at that), but not literature.
The Pilot's Prayer
Oh My God!
I praise Thee for protecting me thus far!
Continue to protect and bless me, Father.
I want to continue flying,
In your Holy Name.
The skies are volatile,
Yet You have kept them calm,
Continue to protect my craft,
Dear Father,
And make it safer than ever.
Please remind me of safety,
And to look outside my bubble!
There are airplanes like mosquitoes down here!
Let not others' guard falter nor fail,
Keep their eyes aware,
There is a job to be done,
A place to go,
A site to see,
A rating sought,
But most importantly,
YOU are what we all should seek.
Let us all fly with safety and wisdom,
Whilst we disrupt Thine air masses,
Protect us, Lord,
From all adversities.
I trust in You, God,
Make Thine Angels fly as fast as I do!
"My Guardian Angel is Turbine Powered"
Keep Thine Saving Grace over my craft,
In your Heavenly Name,
Amen.
