As I begin to question on why so many not so pleasant events or difficult situations that I get myself into, I remember that God, while He is that High and Lofty One, the Holy One, the one whom I need to fear and surrender to, is also a very close friend.
All grievances and unhappiness, along with everything else, I am comforted because I can tell it all to Jesus.
Remembered singing this hymn in church, searched for it online and what a blessing those words are.
What a friend we have in Jesus by Joseph M. Scriven
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.
Humming to the tune of this hymn and taking everything to Jesus in prayer.
