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.

2 wks ago I lost my dear mom suddenly, I was lost on hearing the sad news, I did not know what to do with a small baby in my arms. But JESUS knew and He's ABLE. HE directed me... HE is the only TRUE friend. Great song.

When all other forsake me He didn't.

And I'm sure He won't.

God bless you all. Jesus is very close to the brokenhearted. Do not despair. He has a long arm reaching right down into the darkest valleys.

In the sorrow and loss of this world it is refreshing to remember Jesus. Encouragement to read responses from brothers and sisters in Christ that I will one day meet.
