What a Friend we have in Jesus

1
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!
2
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.
3
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.

This hymn was brought to mind again after about 40 years of hearing it first time on our last day of Cite du Pain Camp-meeting 2024.

It is hoped that the children that made decisions for Christ yesterday, will be nurtured in the way of righteousness.

In Jesus’s name - Amen 🙏🏽

Only a friend knows the heart of a friend. We all need to get into that close relationship with Christ. Enjoying Christ is the key ! We just need to call on His name and He will be fully available!

Praisecthe Lord!

Glory to God, in the highest. Indeed, what a friend we have in Jesus. He has done great and might things for me. Today is my 67th birthday. It has been a long road through which God has kept me through the rough and tumble of life and taught many lessons. In return for His love and mercy, I shall continue to live for Him, for I belong to Him. Lord, lead, guide and show me the way, for "you guide my steps along righteous paths for your names sake". I thank you.
