A Prayer for Safety

Hubby got called in to fly late Saturday evening. The mission – to fly to the Texas Louisiana border and begin evacuating critically ill patients from hospitals and taking them to other hospitals inland.

The crew loaded up. Just before take-off Hubs thought he heard something over the intercom.

“What?” he responds.

A small voice says, “Will you say a prayer for our safety?”

Hubs prays for the crew and their safety. They take off to go do what they do best.

Hours later, being just minutes from landing at the helo-port at the hospital, Hubs hears a loud sound coming from the helicopter. Upon landing they find red oil splashed all over the outside of the aircraft.

An oil line had been severed. The helicopter only had minutes left.

Needless to say, the mission was aborted. The night was spent repairing the helo for the flight home.

But praise God that one of the crew members felt the need to pray and they responded. Hallelujah for God’s provision and protection.

Prayer warriors, please pray for the Gulf Coast cities and their residents. Pray for all EMS, rescue teams, police and volunteers who will come to help in this time of need.

God you amaze me daily!

When you're not on the front lines of something like this (and I was during Hurricane Floyd in '99) it's easy to forget those of you who are.

So much chaos all around...thank God for his peace in the midst.

Praise the Lord, Alene for their safety. Thanks for sharing this miracle of how powerful prayer is and why we should pray when we feel that prompting.

Thank you gals for your prayers! Keep them coming for all those living along both coasts. With three storms barrelling upon our East and Gulf coasts many prayers are needed for all!
