April 5 Prayer

April 5 Prayer
John 21:4-12
Empty boats
Empty hands, hearts turned
back with empty nets
Along a distant shore
Awaits a new dawn breaking
forth a
new perspective of seeing
Jesus the man
They did not recognize
without a change of heart.
Pause a moment and look to the shore where Jesus is waiting for you to arrive.
“O’Jesus help us to make a change,
to pivot where we are and how we think
so we do not miss You
In our grief
In our tensions with others.
There you are guiding us into a new shore and a néw way of seeing,
Of Being
Loved by You!
May our hearts be ignited with the
fire you have started on the shore.
May we turn around to place our hands and hearts where you are working,
To give us everything we need and could ever desire,
That we may live freely and give abundantly to everyone around us,
the deserving and undeserving.
And find Jesus on our shore
of unexpected places.
Amen
