Luke 5:5

But Simon answered and said to Him, "Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless, at Your word I will let down the net." 

By Your word Lord the heavens were made, and all the hosts of them by the breath of Your mouth. You gather the waters of the sea together as a heap. May all the inhabitants of the earth stand in awe of You the great I Am. Lord, we believe you spoke, and it was done, You commanded, and it stood fast. Father, we confess sometimes we get discouraged as we toil and labor for the harvest. Forgive us. But just as Peter was obedient to Your word we desire to be also. When it seems, we cannot go one step further, You come in like a flood and overwhelm us with Your grace and peace. You fill our nets and boats with good things, we never lack for You are always on time. As You have instructed us to tell all the world the good news, we cast our nets out into the ocean of lost drifters, those whose lives are sinking without hope and to those who are caught up in the storms of life with no peace. We believe Jesus You are the anchor to our souls and desire to share this truth. We thank You for a great catch of fish this Christmas. We pray for the coming together of Your church to gather many lives into the ark of Your love. May we be astonished again at Your mercy of those who are like we once were sinful men and women who felt so unworthy to be in Your presence. We thank You Lord that You are willing to make clean, heal and restore. We praise You Lord from the earth. Praise the Lord you great sea creatures and all the depths. May Your name alone be exalted, Your glory in the earth, heaven and seas. Amen.

Psalm 33:6-9, Psalm 148 and Luke 5
