Prayer

There is this song that I think explains it best.

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.
Words: Joseph Scriven (1857)

I love this song. I admit, I struggle with prayer. I do not meet with my Lord nearly as often as I should. I am working on this. I am going to pray all day long. I am not going to say "AMEN", my prayers are going to be never ending. Continuous time spent in prayer with God is what I crave. I long for Him, my best friend.
