What a Friend We Have in Jesus!



The ladies in our church are starting a new "Ladies Prayer Meeting" on Tuesday nights and I am so excited and thankful!

What a friend we have in Jesus! Why not get together with friends and bring everything we have to our Best friend-Jesus!


Thinking about tonight has the lyrics to this song stuck in my head!

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.



Pray for us as we pray for our church family and friends!

My list of request alone could keep us there allll night! ;)

Of course my trip to Zambia to see Kevin in 22 Days!...is at the Top!!

This opportunity to come together as ladies, is among one of my top answered prayers!

Thank you dear Lord!
