The only way to be truly happy in a world like this is always to be casting our cares on God. When Christians fail to do this, and try instead to bear their own burdens, they become unhappy. If only we will go to him, the Lord Jesus is always waiting to hear and help us. He knows all about the trials and sorrows of this world, for he lived in it for more than thirty years. Prayer can lighten the heaviest cross.
Prayer can bring light into our darkness.
Prayer can bring comfort in the greatest sorrow and loneliness. I want everyone who reads this to be a really happy Christian. But if you are to be happy there is no more important duty for you to attend to than that of prayer.
