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.

Hello Michael,
I came online to look for this hymn when I saw your comment. The Lord Jesus Christ is Your Healer. Let me invite you to come onboard this platform ( look for 'pastor-segun-obadje' on Mixlr) for prayers. I definitely know there is God's power available to heal you. I consider this a great privilege from God to reach. God bless You

For Michael I will pray for you brother. I have been taking communion often lately, and as I hold the bread I think of how Jesus in His great love for us allowed his body to be crushed, bearing all our sicknesses and the punishment we deserved
Isaiah 53:5
English Standard Version
5
(A)But he was pierced for our transgressions;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace,
(B)and with his wounds we are healed.
Shalom peace brother -

Everyone please pray for me. I've been sick for years, even tho the symptoms are mild, I feel like I am dying gradually and what's painful is I don't even know what's wrong with me
