Jenny Marrs isn’t letting fear win. Although the HGTV star has a fear of flying, she continues to travel by plane and recently opened up about how she approaches the challenge.
Jenny Marrs Shares Prayer & Wise Words That Help Her With Fear of Flying
On December 11, Marrs took to Instagram to share a scene from her plane window as the song “Be Okay” by Lauren Daigle played.
“Yesterday’s turbulent flight left me feeling anxious for traveling home today,” she wrote in the caption. “As I stood in line to board … I whispered a prayer asking to see just a glimpse of the joy that a dear friend of mine describes when she flys. She always says, ‘the top side of the clouds is my happy place’ and I love that (mostly because it’s truly incomprehensible to me).”
She kept that thought in mind, noting, “As we ascended, I opened my window (I usually keep it closed so I can try to trick my mind into thinking we are just [driving] along the ground) and I saw THIS.”
“I still battle the fear and don’t like the uncomfortable position of being in this weird metal tube but I’m thankful for a vantage point that shows me His goodness to us by creating such a breathtakingly beautiful world,” Marrs shared.
The “Fixer to Fabulous” star shared her hope that this scene might calm someone else’s nerves.
“In case you’re facing something that makes your heart race and your palms sweaty today, I hope this video of the top side of the clouds can remind you that He will meet you right there in the place where you are most afraid,” Marrs wrote. “As His kids, we can rest assured: we’ve been promised peace. The kind of peace that covers our minds and our hearts and is infinitely more powerful than the fear. (John 14:27).”

Another fan noted, “I have the same fear when I fly. I pray, pray and ask God to wrap his arms around the plane to keep it safe. I ask Him to send his angels to fly along side us and guide us. Then I look out at the beauty He gives. God is so good!!”
“Amen! Needed to hear this today!” another fan wrote. “May God continue to bless you and your family and protect u!! Love u guys!!”
Another commenter shared, “I understand completely. I sometimes have anxiety while driving. I keep asking the Lord to be with me and keep me calm. And He does!!”
“I needed this today 🙏🏻. I’ve also been a nervous flyer, and I push myself to do it,” one of her followers shared.
