Lord, Calm My Heart: Philippians 4:6

Philippians 4:6

⁶do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.

Dear Lord,

Teach me to be patient,
teach me to go slow,
Teach me how to wait on You
when my way I do not know.

Teach me sweet forbearance
when things do not go right
so I remain unruffled
when others grow uptight.

Teach me how to quiet my racing, rising heart
so I might hear the answer
You are trying to impart.

Teach me to let go, dear God,
and pray undisturbed
until my heart is filled with inner peace
and I learn to know your will.

In this I pray

Amen

New Jersey, New Bill Would Allow Drivers To Pump Gas

New Jersey, New Bill Would Allow Drivers To Pump Gas.

Via Philly.com

Under current law residents are not permitted to pump their own gas. New Jersey and Oregon are the only two states that require attendants to pump gas.

Retail Gasoline Dispensing Safety Act and Regulations requires all gas station attendants to pump gasoline to all consumers.

I hope this bill never makes the light of day. I like having a trained person dispense gasoline to my auto. Why get the smell of possible fumes into your lungs. Why have to were gloves in case you spill the gas in an overfill. Safety and convenience are a concern. The bill also allows for gas retailers to charge a lower price at the self-service pumps.

I am not in favor of self-serve gas in New Jersey.

Lord, Hear My Prayer: Romans 12:12

Romans 12:12

¹²Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.

Psalm 40:1-2

I waited patiently for the Lord;
    he inclined to me and heard my cry.
²He drew me up from the pit of destruction,
    out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
    making my steps secure.

Almighty and Eternal God,
Give me, I beseech You,
the great gift of inward peace.

Fortify me with the grace of Your Holy Spirit
and give Your peace to my soul
that I may be free from all needless anxiety,
solicitude and worry.
Help me to desire always
that which is pleasing and acceptable to You
so that Your Will may be my will.

teach me constantly to seek
and to acquire that perfect resignation
to Your Holy Will
which alone brings interior peace.

in this I pray

Amen

Amtrak 188 Crash in Philly, Deadly Train Derailment, over 200 People Injured.

I was flipping with the remote last night after Phillies game. Then, I saw this, an Amtrak Train heading from Washington D.C. to New York City train derailment that was in Philly which is right across the Delaware River from my home. I know the area well. I witnessed immediately over 300 police, EMT’s, firefighters and others rushing to the scene of the accident which was very dark. They were using flashlights until helicopters could use overhead beams of light. Local hospitals were preparing for the injured. I also saw SEPTA buses transporting the victims who looked like they were in shock. I left the TV on all night. Prayers to the victims. #pray for philly, #Amtrak 188

Another Deadly Train Derailment Happened at Frankford Junction 71 Years Ago
