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.

I’m singing this hymn this morning thinking about how the Lord Jesus knows our every weakness. That line, “Jesus knows our every weakness”, touches me at the core of my being. So often we experience these times of weakness in ourselves. But singing the words in verse 2, we remember Jesus, our sympathizing High Priest, who now prayers for us at the right hand of the Father. It’s so encouraging to realize that Jesus knows our every weakness. The thought of it brings great encouragement to me as I bow before him in prayer and receive his strength. His promises never fail. He truly is faithful!!

Yes what a privilege we can take EVERYTHING to the CREATOR. So often we try and fail to sort things out ourselves rather than making HIM our first port of call. HE will never leave us or forsake us. HIS steadfast love endures forever. AMEN and AMEN
