Heavenly Father,

Thank You for Your Word that calls us closer to You. Just as Jesus asked Simon to move his boat from the shore, You are calling us today to leave behind our comfort, doubts, and worldly ways and draw near to You. Lord, help us to listen when You say, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch ”Luke 5:4. Teach us to go deeper in faith, prayer, and meditation on Your Word day and night.

Father, many times we feel like Simon and say, “Master, we have toiled all night and caught nothing; nevertheless at Your word I will let down the net” Luke 5:5. When we see no results, strengthen us to trust and obey You. Help us believe that Your plans are greater than our understanding and that Your promises never fail.

Lord Jesus, You are the God of miracles. Just as You filled Simon’s nets beyond what he could imagine, do mighty works in our lives according to Your will. Open our eyes to see that You can do far more than we can ask or think.

Father, give us humble and repentant hearts. Like Peter, may we recognize our need for Your mercy and turn away from sin. Thank You that You do not reject us, but call us into Your service. As Jesus said, “Do not be afraid. From now on you will catch men” Luke 5:10. Use us to bring others to You and build Your Kingdom.

In Jesus’ mighty name we pray...Amen.
