What a Friend We Have in Jesus Hymn
There's one thing we should never feel, and this is God's rejection. In Isaiah 41: 9-10, God said, "... I have not rejected you. So do not fear, for I am with you." Isa. 41: 9-10
Hymn : What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Words: Joseph M. Scriven, 1855. Scriven wrote this hymn to comfort his mother, who was across the sea from him in Ireland. It was originally published anonymously, and Scriven did not receive full credit for almost 30 years.
Music: Erie, Charles C. Converse
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 your friends despise, forsake you? Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In His arms He’ll take and shield you; you will find a solace there.

The solitary jogger
Forgotten by friends?
Sacked unfairly by your employer?
Rejection slips from publishers?
Ignored by family members?
... Other hurts and pains?
