We live in a world where everything is staged. Nearly everything online is staged to make it look real. That should never happen in the church, but it does.

In this lesson, we conclude our exploration of model prayers.

Have you ever felt stuck in a loop? You know that you need to change, and you want to do it. But like clockwork, you fall to the same temptations, bad habits, and sins, and the cycle repeats. Sometimes, the only answer is to start over. That's what Peter does in Luke 5:1-11.
If you don't commit to starting over, then you commit to staying stuck. You may have been victimized by other people's choices, or you may have repeatedly victimized yourself with your own recurrent choices. Regardless, if you don't commit to starting over, then you commit to staying stuck. At some point, staying stuck is an act of your own free will.
In part four of this series, we acknowledge that starting over demands that we trust God.
