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 Saviour, 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
A Hymn by Joseph Medlicott Scriven (1819-86)
God Bless Jesus and Joseph Medicott for the lovely words spoken in a hymn.
I hope you all enjoy these words and take every care and woe and weakness to Our Precious Lord. I know I cannot do anything without Him. My life is nothing without Him. He is my life. Jesus is the Healer, the Holy Spirit the Comforter, no-on can take the place of Jesus. Let us lift Him up in this coming year and dedicate our lives, our spouses, our children, our work, our homes, our prayers and our communites and our neighbours.
Let us not grow weary of doing good and loving the unlovely. What good is it if you love those who love you back.
Blessed are those poor in spirit for their is the Kingdom of God AMEN
WHAT A TRUELY BLESSED FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS. PRAISE HIM PRAISE HIM PRAISE HIM. AMEN
