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 song brings peace to my soul everytime I hear it. It uplifts my spirit and gives me confidence that tomorrow will be good because He is always there for me. The author of this song must have been led by the holy spirit when writing it.

I've been so overwhelmed with a lot of burden, ministry, family, job and relationship. This morning I had a revelation: when I find myself in the midst of two of my friends and brothers in Christ, we were arguing about the lyrics of this song. The only thing I did this morning is to take all the cares and my burden to The Lord, I feel relieved. Thank You Jesus.

The words ‘Take it to the Lotd in Prayer’ is going through my mind. My partner of 11 years just up and left me. I am a Christian and he is not. Feeling a little lost and bewildered of late I hear these words. ‘Take it to the Lord in Prayer’ looking up the lyrics I find this site. I realise I don’t take things to the Lord too often I shoulder all the hurt and pain. Not sure why. I know my God had always been there for me..... time to lean on Him I think and take it to the Lord in Prayer.

I was having difficulty falling to sleep. Started praying and the Holy Spirit downloaded this hymn, I learned in Sunday school, many years ago. As I started humming the melody, my spirit was overwhelmed with His Peace, Joy and Comfort. I will be giving my testimony and singing this tomorrow at church to encourage others to return to Him to meet our deepest needs.
