WHAT A FRIEND

What a friend we have in Jesus.

There’s no escaping. Where would I go?

Even if I tried.

God has my heart.

And Jesus got my back.

Without Jesus I would be lost. Without God I’d have no hope. I am broken and need lots guidance and I also have anxiety so I pray a lot especially when I get stressed.
