LITANY

LEADER      

Lord Jesus, in your call to Peter you said,  ”Put out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch”.

PEOPLE      

We acknowledge, Lord that we often test the unknown, the deep waters where we haven’t fished before.

LEADER    

When we feel discouraged by past failures or uncertainties, remind us that your word is a sure guide, even when it asks us to do things that seem impossible.

PEOPLE
Help us to trust in your power, even when our own efforts seem fruitless.

LEADER  
Grant us the courage to step out of our comfort zones and follow your lead, even when it means leaving behind familiar routines.

PEOPLE
Just as you transformed Peter’s life by calling him to “fish for men,” transform our lives to be instruments of your love and grace in the world.

ALL

We surrender our own desires and ambitions to your greater purpose.
