peace and strength that only God can give:
What a Friend we have in Jesus
All our sins and griefs to bear.
What a privilege to carry,
Everything to God in prayer.
Read the story of Joseph Scriven who, despite heartbreaking disappointments, dedicated his life to preaching and helping others. His poems, written more than 150 years ago to bring comfort to those who suffer, continue to do so to this day.
