Hymn: 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!
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.

I hope this is an encouragement to you all as well.

Luke 11:5-8

5 And he said unto them, Which of you shall have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, and say unto him, Friend, lend

me three loaves;

6 For a friend of mine in his journey is come to me, and I have nothing to set before him?

7 And he from within shall answer and say, Trouble me not: the door is now shut, and my children are with me in bed; I cannot

rise and give thee.

8 I say unto you, Though he will not rise and give him, because he is his friend, yet because of his importunity he will rise and

give him as many as he needeth.

Friendship is a key component in our prayer life. This is true from two aspects. One is concerning the relationships we have

with those we pray for, and the other is regarding our relationship with God. In these verses in Luke, Jesus begins to address

both of these aspects.

* I was searching and found a link, but it won't let me post the link. if you google search "LORD TEACH ME TO PRAY" hopefully you will find it too.

I found comfort and encouragement reading through the comments here.

Thank You Lord Jesus for being my friend!

Praise our God! He is always with us. Through the good and the bad. Sometimes we forget to look up instead of looking at our situation. His love is unfathomable.

2 wks ago I lost my dear mom suddenly, I was lost on hearing the sad news, I did not know what to do with a small baby in my arms. But JESUS knew and He's ABLE. HE directed me... HE is the only TRUE friend. Great song.
