Jesus shows up when we need him
Let me hear of your unfailing love each morning,
for I am trusting you. ~ Psalm 143:8 (NLT)
So they went out in the boat, but they caught nothing all night. At dawn Jesus was standing on the beach... ~ John 21:3-4 (NLT)
KEY IDEA:
Jesus shows up when we need him.
PRAYER:
Lord, just when I realize that I need you, you're already there. Help me to trust you even more --
especially when I'm out fishing all night and catching nothing. You're there for me. Amen.
