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.

How awesome it is to have Jesus, God's beloved son as a friend. A friend that sits at GOD'S right hand. A friend that you can confide in. A friend that you can count on to meet you at the point of you needs. A friend that loves you.

Old words with a fresh meaning...go ahead! Take it to the Lord in prayer, watch as the Lord changes your circumstances and you walk in the victory of Christ over the enemy daily.

"Oh what peace we often forfeit, oh what needless pain we bear!"
...But the Lord is with us the very second we call out His name. He longs to comfort us as a loving parent comforts a precious child. His love for us is beyond human comprehension.
