What a Friend....

At Church on Sunday we sang this song and it is just such a good reminder to remember that God is walking with us through life, no matter how crazy and out of control it feels, He is still the author of our story. Just remember today that no matter what this day, or week, or even the rest of the year holds, to seek after God and His plans for your life. Sometimes I think we think that 'plans for our life' is something that is far away and we often forget to include Him in the daily decisions and actions. So today remember that He is here with you and we are living for His glory.

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!
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.
Blessed Savior, Thou hast promised
Thou wilt all our burdens bear;
May we ever, Lord, be bringing
All to Thee in earnest prayer.
Soon in glory bright, unclouded,will be no need for prayer—
Rapture, praise, and endless worship
Will be our sweet portion there.
