When believers are weak in faith, and down in the mully grubs as I like to call it…. we have to continue to pray and plead with God for comfort. So often it is forgotten that God is our friend and He will comfort!
I read a hymn this week that was really neat
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 & temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged,
Take it to the Lord in prayer
Are we weak & heavy-laden
Cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge
Take it to the Lord in Prayer.
Spring, I loved this! I am going to put it on my myspace profile, definetely a GREAT reminder! Thanks for sharing it with us!
Good idea Laura
I really liked this too Spring… also the “Making a Difference” essay on the left side! Thanks for some inspiring words!
I have always loved this, and many other hymns! It’s never a good idea to forfeit peace and carry burdens instead!
This is one of my favorite hymns, I was leafing through our Baptist Hymnal a while back and happened upon this hymn, so I have been practicing it on the piano/keyboard I love to hear the music and sing the words of praise in my head as I play it, it makes my heart sing. WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS!
