What a friend we have in Jesus


What a friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear
What a privilege to carry
Everything to God in prayer
Oh what peace we often forfeit
Oh what needless pain we bear
All because we do not carry
Everything to God in prayer

This week I have needed to carry many things to God in prayer, a friend with a cancerous brain tumour not given long to live, a niece being operated on in hospital just to name a couple. But this age old hymn has brought me much comfort. We don’t need to carry these burdens, we have to surrender them in prayer into the hands of Jesus. He not only carries the burdens but He also carries us. I hope this can encourage you today to keep your eyes fixed on Jesus and carry everything to God in prayer 🙏 ❤
