Good morning friend, here is today's prayer...
Dear Lord Jesus, Please forgive me for the times I have not obeyed You. Teach me to completely obey Your commands. I need You miracle-working power in my life. I bow in worship of You because You are the Lord of my life. You are my Lord and Savior. I trust You to teach me, to lead me, and to direct me today... Trust in the Lord with all your heart,
And lean not on your own understanding;
In all your ways acknowledge Him,
And He shall direct your paths.
Proverbs 3:5-6
I acknowledge You as the source of all blessings and goodness in my life. In the name of Jesus I pray, Amen.

Reflecting on the Names and Nature of GodJesus: Master (Epistates)
And Simon answering said unto him,
Master, we have toiled all the night,
and have taken nothing:
nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net.
Luke 5:5 Jesus sat in Peter’s boat and preached to a large crowd. When He finished, He told Peter, “Launch out into the deep and let down your nets for a catch” (Luke 5:4). Because Jesus knew all things, He knew that Peter had fished all night but didn’t catch anything. Peter called Jesus Master, a title of respect that a worker would call a boss. Peter was respectful, but He replied,
“I will let down the net” (Luke 5:5). Did you see what Peter said? He would cast only one net, not all of the nets, as Jesus had originally commanded. Don’t we do the same thing? Aren’t we guilty of partial obedience to Jesus? Jesus, forgive me for the times I have not completely obeyed You. Teach me to completely obey Your commands. Notice what happened when Peter let down only one net: “They caught a great number of fish, and their net was
breaking” (Luke 5:6). Perhaps the singular net would not have been broken if Peter had let down all the nets. Isn’t partial obedience full disobedience? When Peter saw his net breaking and the boat filled with fish, he fell at Jesus’ feet, crying out, “O Lord!” (Luke 5:8). Notice the change in titles. Jesus is no longer just respected as a boss; Jesus is now revered as Master and Lord. Do you just respect Jesus
as your boss, or do you revere Him as your Lord? Lord Jesus, I revere your miracle-working powers, but I bow in worship because You are the Lord of the universe; You are my personal Lord. Amen. Go Deeper: Luke 5:1-11 Jesus is more than your Master; He wants to be Your Lord.
