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.

While doing my devotion tonight this hymn came to my mind. O what peace we often forfeit,

Like others who have commented, the words “take it to the Lord in prayer” came to my mind late in the night. Reminded of the One who loves me most and best. Cares for my every need; even (and maybe especially) those that are heaviest on my heart. Father, thru your Son my Lord, I lay the cares of my heart before you. Grant me Peace and guidance from the Holy Spirt this day. In Jesus name I pray. Amen
