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. 2 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. 3 Are we weak and heavy laden, cumbered with a load of care? Christ the Saviour is our refuge; take it to the Lord in prayer. Do our friends despise, forsake us? Are we tempted to despair? Jesus' strength will shield our weakness, and we'll find new courage there. Used With Tune: FRIENDSHIP

The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure; The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. 4 O come, behold what wondrous works Jehovah's hand has wrought; Come, see what desolation great He on the earth has brought. To utmost ends of all the earth He causes war to cease; The weapons of the strong destroyed, He makes abiding peace. 5 Be still and know that I am God, O'er all exalted high; The subject nations of the earth My Name shall magnify. The Lord of Hosts is on our side, Our safety to secure, The God of Jacob is for us A refuge strong and sure. Scripture: Psalm 46 Used With Tune: MATERNA
