Jonah Part 4 - Jonah's Prayer (Jonah 2:1-9)
Jonah 2:1-9
“I cried out to the Lord in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and Lord, you heard me! You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves. Then I said, ‘O Lord, you have driven me from your presence. Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.’ “I sank beneath the waves, and the waters closed over me. Seaweed wrapped itself around my head. I sank down to the very roots of the mountains. I was imprisoned in the earth, whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O Lord my God, snatched me from the jaws of death! As my life was slipping away, I remembered the Lord. And my earnest prayer went out to you in your holy Temple. Those who worship false gods turn their backs on all God’s mercies. But I will offer sacrifices to you with songs of praise, and I will fulfill all my vows. For my salvation comes from the Lord alone.”
4 Lessons We Learn From Jonah's Prayer:
1. God hears you when you’re guilty (v. 2-4)
2. God humbles you when you’re lost (v. 5-6)
“In every generation, the people who have found God have been those who have come to the end of themselves. Recognizing their hopelessness, they have been ready to throw themselves on the mercy and grace of a forgiving God.” - A.W. Tozer
Psalm 107:43
Those who are wise will take all this to heart; they will see in our history the faithful love of the Lord.
3. God heals you when you’re broken (v. 7)
4. God helps you do what is right (v. 8-9)
