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!

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.
A childhood song that I always loved. I find peace & comfort in this song and love to sing it. I just read about the writer, Beautifully written and we should always that everything to the Lord in prayer. ❤️
I knew this song since I was young. One of my favorite hymns. Whenever I im feeling down, it gives me hope and trust GOD all the more. Casting all our cares to HIM and knowing He is the God of mercy. He will never leave us nor forsake us. Amen!
Today, I woke up with a heavy burden over my shoulders. I know beyond a shadow of doubt that I have been constantly used to meet peoples' needs while the finacial burden remains heavily on me. Its worse than slavery. Do you know why? coz you exoect people to meet their part of obligations. All I hear is lies and traps to be used more. This stops now.
Such comforting and assuring words/song. "What needless pain I bear" all because I do not carry everything to God in prayer.
I just finished a study right now, on the importance of casting all my cares upon my Lord, because he loves and cares for me. and while studying, I immediately remembered this hymn. I took the time to read it after my study and indeed it further deepens my understanding and helps me appreciate the more, the light that I contacted through my study.
