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.

Romans 9:16 (KJV) So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy.
May I decree that you may increase Jn. 3:33.
All of you Lord and non of me to give me an expected end.
May I always want and care for things that will give you glory forever, Amen.
I love you precious Savior.
THANK YOU FATHER.

In the past many of my prayers have been for me, my wants or needs. I have been impressed lately by the power of prayer. I have been burdened for many different people. I have been greatly encouraged by the Lord answering some of my prayers. I have searched the New Testament for pray, prayer, or prayers. I found one verse that really impressed me. It is Col 4:12. It says “always laboring fervently in prayers that you may stand perfect [mature] and complete in all the will of God”. This is a petition I have for many. I believe this is very much on God’s heart according to His will. What a friend we have in Jesus. We can take every thing to Him! He knows what we need to grow. He loves us.

Many times we forfeit our peace and we suffer needless pains all because we don't carry out problems to Jesus.
Cast all your cares on Him, he is ever ready to lift our burden from us

As very young children my sister and I so often heard our Mother singing this hymn that, although we are in our nineties, it still reminds us of His love and the fact that God is only a prayer away! When we go to Him in prayer, He gives us the blessed assurance that he hears every one of our prayers
