The blogs lately have been about “friends.” The Bible says, “There is a friend that sticks closer than a brother;” Jesus is a friend like that. He stands with us. He is our friend. What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer. Let us not forfeit our peace; let us go to Jesus, who invites us to come to Him.
Text: Joseph M. Scriven, 1820-1886 Music: Charles C. Converse, 1832-1918 What a friend we have in Jesus, all our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer. Have we trials and temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; take it to the Lord in prayer. Can we find a friend so faithful who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; take it to the Lord in prayer. Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer. Do thy friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he’ll take and shield thee; thou wilt find a solace there. |
