Prayer From The Depths | Jonah 2:1-17
We saw how Jonah lived during the time of Jeroboam II the northern king of Israel (8th century BC). Jonah had run away from God's call to Nineveh. But God had disrupted his plans by sending a storm. By this time in our story, ch. 1: 17 says, "the Lord appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights." So what is Jonah learning as he sinks deeper into his troubles? What is God showing us through Jonah's troubles? In our passage, we'll see:- a) The cry of distress to God. b) The misery of separation from God. c) The gratitude of salvation to God.
