Father,
I pray that You would bless and protect everyone on this plane with Your mighty angels.
In Jesus' Name,
Amen
That's what I pray as a whisper before a plane I'm flying in takes off. There are biblical precedents for all types of prayer, including silent prayers, but I like to engage my vocal chords in prayer whenever possible. It's really probably just my preference. It seems more real to me that way -- kinda like actually raising my hands or actually kneeling down if I'm singing a worship song that says "Holy, Holy, Holy," or "I lift my hands up..." or "I fall down on my knees." It engages more of the senses and it forces my knees, hands, or tongues to line up with the truth that is being sung.
As a singer might say, "I like it like that."
