AS LONG AS I HAVE JESUS, I HAVE ALL I NEED.(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)
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.
peace means “peace with God.”(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)
Luke is talking about the peace of restoration, well-being, and salvation.
“God has granted wonderful advances through medical science. But one may be healthy, wealthy, and even wise, but still alienated from God and beset by a dis-ease created by a spiritual void. No physical cure permanently fends off the various assaults on our mortal bodies, but faith carried one through and allows one to overcome physical maladies.”(MULTILINE REVEAL SMALL)
FATHER, WE THANK YOU FOR THE GLORY OF CHRIST SEEN IN THESE VERSES. AND THESE MIRACLES ARE PRESENT IN OUR LIVES. WE WILL BE RAISED TO ETERNAL LIFE. SO WE HAVE NO FEAR OF DEATH. DEATH HAS LOST ITS STING. THANK YOU THAT JESUS HAS CONQUERED DEATH FOR ALL WHO BELIEVE IN HIM. THANK YOU FOR THIS WONDERFUL HOPE. IN IT WE REST AND REJOICE IN CHRIST’S NAME. AMEN.
