Have you been Forfeiting Peace? Bearing Needless Pain?

Have you been Forfeiting Peace? Bearing Needless Pain? Why? What should be your first response?

Song: What A Friend We Have in Jesus by Alan Jackson
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.

1 Peter 5:7 (NLT) Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.
