NOTE: The following is quoted from the ILT.org website: “The Institute of Lutheran Theology is an independent, pan-Lutheran theological project, holding that God in Jesus Christ brings sinners to repentance and new life. Because of its commitment to Scripture, to the Lutheran Confessions, and to deep dialogue with the contemporary intellectual horizon, the Institute works with supporting congregations to educate the next generation of faithful Lutheran preachers and teachers.”

Gracious God, you call us to be fishermen and fish for the lost. In our day-to-day so-called "real" lives we would never expect the waters to always be calm and the sailing always smooth and yet we put that on our lives as your disciples. We hear from Paul of his life of faith and service and yet we, like the disciples in the boat, demand that you still the storms that don't bother you in the least. Let us rest in peace with you no matter how high the waves, how strong the winds and how bad the storms are. Tell us again this day through your Word what it means to follow you, the Crucified and Risen one. Teach us what it means to launch, navigate and fish in the storms of this world never fearing for our own safety but only going out for the other. In your name we pray, Amen.
