Heavenly Father, today our
hearts are with those involved with Southwest Flight 1380 after the trauma they
experienced yesterday. First of all, we pray for the loved ones of Jennifer
Riordan as they grieve her strange and sudden death. Bring them supernatural
comfort as they navigate not only grief, but all the unique circumstances
surrounding her death. Sustain them each day as they move forward after this
heavy blow. Next, Lord, we rejoice that no one else was seriously injured. We
are thankful for the courage shown by both crew and passengers, and for the
steady hand and sound mind demonstrated by pilot Tammie Jo Shults during and
after the emergency landing. We pray for helpful information about the
situation to become known within an appropriate timeline so that similar
incidents can be avoided in the future. We desire all involved in
investigations and legal matters to display both truth and grace. Finally,
Lord, we pray about the trauma of the incident for all involved. We are very
aware that those who experienced this drama have all sorts of emotions,
thoughts and images that have greatly impacted them. We pray against the
development of PTSD in these passengers and crew members. We pray for feelings
of fear and anxiety to soon be replaced with peace and trust. We pray for scary
dreams to turn into deep sleep. We pray that each person involved in this
emergency will process through the experience in due time, and then move
forward with life in a healthy way, unafraid. In Jesus' name we pray, amen.
