When I lost my first baby, I would play this hymn over and over and over. Sometimes I would stop and cry. I found solace and such comfort and peace.. God spoke to me deep in my heart::
Philadelphia, PA, United States
The Bible says in Luke 18:1 that men ought to always pray and not faint! Beloved, these are praying times - the whole world is under threat and Jesus is a threat eliminator! This song came to my mind in prayer this morning and I couldn’t remember all the words so I looked it up. Beautiful words to the heart that longs for His presence. Grace and peace!
Conyers, GA, United States
We used to sing this song all the time in church. I haven't heard this song in a long time and it never came to my mind until today. I'm watching Tubi and I picked a faith based movie and they were singing this song. I can't believe I forgot this song, especially when I always look up songs that I hum. But this didn't come to my mind until today when I heard it. I looked it up. This is so true to take it to the Lord in prayer. What a friend indeed our Lord Jesus Christ is. Pray... pray... pray.. and pray again.
Port Harcourt, Rivers, Nigeria
If ye shall ask anything in MY Name, I Will do it... John 14:14... LORD I have asked these four things in YOUR holy name and I believe YOU Have done them in JESUS Mighty Name... Amen
Kampala, Uganda
I believe God sees me and knows what am going through. The Holy Spirit just spoke to me through this song. Thank You Father God in Heaven for being my greatest friend. Heal my body and restore my soul, providing for my every need and bringing me closer to You like never before. Through the precious name of Jesus Christ our Lord I pray, believing amen

This song just popped up in my head. I absolutely love it. It is so clear that God is the answer to every situation. He is waiting on us !
