WHAT A FRIEND WE HAVE IN JESUS

3/26 Edited to

The hymn 'What a Friend We Have in Jesus' reminds us of the profound comfort and peace found in faith and prayer. Over the years, I've found that regularly turning to prayer during times of stress or grief brings a remarkable sense of relief and calmness. It’s not just about asking for help but about the privilege of sharing everything with God—our joys, anxieties, and hopes. Many people underestimate the power of prayer, often carrying their burdens alone and experiencing needless pain. This hymn beautifully captures the contrast between the peace we forfeit by holding onto our worries and the peace we gain by surrendering them in prayer. Practicing this in daily life has deepened my spiritual connection and provided clarity in difficult moments. In addition, reflecting on Joseph Medlicott Scriven’s words encourages us to see prayer as a continuous conversation rather than a last resort. This approach fosters resilience and gratitude. If you’re looking to bring more peace into your life, consider making regular prayer a habit, sharing every concern and joy, and embracing the friendship and support that faith offers.

Jesus is always chasing after us

Isn’t amazing that we have someone who loves us no matter what. Jesus literally runs after us time and time again, we keep wandering and getting lost. But he knows exactly where we are at. He knows what we go through on a daily basis, all we have to do is stop running and trying to fix it on our ow
