1. John 21:2-3 (NKJV)
2 Simon Peter, Thomas called the Twin, Nathanael of Cana in Galilee, the sons of Zebedee, and two others of His disciples were together. 3 Simon Peter said to them, “I am going fishing.”
They said to him, “We are going with you also.” They went out and immediately got into the boat, and that night they caught nothing.

2. Separation Anxiety
Usually think of it among kids
It can happen among adults as well
Some can lose an influential person in their life and not know how to handle it or move on

3. Paco the Dog
Kelly Black – owner
Tragic story from Friday morning
Paco laid there, sadly, waiting for his master to return

4. Paco continued to lay there waiting for his master
Soon some family members came, those he was familiar with
He was soon wagging his tail because of being with those he was familiar with

5. The Apostle Peter experienced this in John 21
Peter was without his Master
He was sad, discouraged, unsure
He returned to that which he knew best…fishing

6. Jesus appears on the shore, but they did not know it was Him

7. As soon as Peter realizes it, he jumps in the water and swims back to shore
He is reunited with his Master

8. We too can find ourselves separated from God
It could be because of:
Sin
Lack of Bible study
Lack of Prayer
Mixed up priorities
