Catch us in your net

A prayer based on Isaiah 6 and Luke 5

We pray to you, Lord Jesus Christ,

speaker of the Word of God.

Your words

touch the deep places of our souls –

places where we have laboured and come up empty

places where the hunger for holiness

waits for the feast of your promises kept

places where our fears make us small and timid.

Speak hope into our emptiness

and help us hear and believe

Speak truth into our sinfulness

and purify us with your great mercy

Speak love into our woundedness

and heal us.

Catch us in the net of your holy purposes

for our lives, for this city, for the world.

We pray to you, Word of God,

Word of Life,

Word of new beginnings,

LORD. Amen
