Fisherman Prayer

Please read the prayers below which will provide guidance for Fisherman Prayer. May God Bless You!

Fisherman Prayer 1

O God,
I wasn’t aware until very recently that these words come from a poem. I found the poem to be very appropriate for the times we find ourselves in with the metaphor of the overwhelming waves and wind of the sea aptly capturing the fearful nature of the present days.
Amen.

Fisherman Prayer 2

God grant me a little more time
To pick up my rod, and cast my line.
Work and worry disappear
When I pick up my fishing gear.
With boat on trailer, I will go
Anywhere the fishing’s not too slow.
Work just doesn’t seem so fine
When I see what’s at the end of my fishing line.
When I am feeble, old and grey
Please don’t take my pole away.
When the Pearly Gates open wide
Please find this old fisherman, one good lake inside.
Amen.

Fisherman Prayer 3

God grant that I may live to fish, Until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last cast, I then most humbly pray.
When in the Lord’s safe landing net, I’m peacefully asleep.
That I will be judged, Good enough to keep.
Amen.

Fisherman Prayer 4

I pray that I may live to fish
Until my dying day.
And when it comes to my last cast,
I then most humbly pray:
When in the Lord’s great landing net
And peacefully asleep
That in His mercy I be judged
Big enough to keep.
Amen.

Fisherman Prayer 5

O God,
Thy sea is so great and my boat is so small.”
I wasn’t aware until very recently that these words come from a poem. I found the poem to be very appropriate for the times we find ourselves in with the metaphor of the overwhelming waves and wind of the sea aptly capturing the fearful nature of the present days.
Amen.

Fisherman Prayer 6

O God,
So great
My boat so small.
It cannot be that any happy fate
Will me befall
Save as Thy goodness opens paths for me
Through the consuming vastness of the sea.
Amen.

Fisherman Prayer 7

Thy world, O God,
So fierce,
And I so frail.
Yet, though its arrows threaten oft to pierce
My fragile mail,
Cities of refuge rise where dangers cease,
Sweet silences abound, and all is peace.
Amen.
