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.

For Michael I will pray for you brother. I have been taking communion often lately, and as I hold the bread I think of how Jesus in His great love for us allowed his body to be crushed, bearing all our sicknesses and the punishment we deserved

Isaiah 53:5

English Standard Version

5

(A)But he was pierced for our transgressions;

he was crushed for our iniquities;

upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,

(B)and with his wounds we are healed.

Shalom peace brother -
