Lord I love the great outdoors,

enjoying this great world of Yours,

A fisherman with countless dreams



I cast my line, then cast my cares,

and know You’ll answer all my prayers.

I’ll catch a fish and when I do,

I always offer thanks to You.



A Prayer For Fishermen



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
