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.

Thos song came to me in prayer tonight. It was a song my nana taught me to play on the organ. It brought back such great memories and made me feel loved and hugged by Jesus. I needed that right now. Thank you Jesus for that better feeling 🙏

I remember singing this hymn growing up in church. It's only when you go through hardship as an adult that those words becoming real and meaningful. May we always sing what we practice, and practice what we sing!
