Simon answered, “Master, we have worked all night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let down the nets.” When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets were beginning to burst. Luke 5:5-6
Giver of life, you reach out with abundance and provision at every turn. All too often it is hard to have eyes to see it, trust to loosen our desires for control, or willingness to give up the outcomes we prefer. Help us receive the life you offer with open hands. Amen.
