What a Friend we have in Jesus

O what a needless pain we bear, because we do not carry everything to God... this is so me, I bear everything by myself, but after going through the song, I have find a place to cast all my troubles... Truly what a friend we have in Jesus!

Great

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

O what needless pains we bear all because we do not carry everything to God in prayer.

Heard the song on radio, and how powerful the words are. oh what a Friend we have in Jesus

We did our morning devotions and our hymn today was 'what a friend we have in Jesus' it really gave me peace.

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

Before getting up, early morning, wife just gone to work, reflecting on all the mistakes in my life and my worries about getting things right, I was asking Jesus, who I am learning to think of as a friend (not just “The Lord Jesus Christ in Glory”), for help, and this song crept into my mind, and I decided this was from God so I looked up the lyrics and read them and was encouraged. I also read all the wonderful comments about how it is still helping so many people day by day. How I wish and pray I had helped my children, and that God will help me help my children, love to seek His help also.

I woke in the night, this song came into my spirit. I found the words and sang it. Oh what confronts it brought to my soul. Love the song. Jesus is dearest friend.

Thank You Lord for this inspiration song, when took my problem from my working place, marriage issue and delayed of glory to him in prayer, he settled me and am glad today.

Comfort and peace come from remembering His friendship His strength — I just sang this hymn to my frustrated son, to remind him of peace through prayer, and doing it brought peace again to both our hearts.
