My Friend

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 Saviour 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 am so thankful that Jesus Christ is my friend. I love my friends, but there is none like Jesus. What do people do without Him? He has proven Himself to me time and time again. There have been times when I thought someone was my friend and I would find out they weren't a friend at all, but Jesus is a true friend. I am amazed that He cares about the smallest detail of my life. He cares when we are having a bad day, He cares when we struggle with an issue in our life, He cares when we hurt from words someone spoke about us, He cares when we are accused of things for which we are not guilty, He cares when we lose a loved one to death, He cares when we lose a sister or brother to sin, He just Cares! I love the times when I can go to Him with my pain, fears, hurts, and sorrow and feel His Spirit there to comfort. And I love when I can go to Him with my accomplishments, joy, happiness, and laughter. And feel His smile. So many times I have felt Him as my refuge in the storm, He has been my solace so many times. What a Friend!
