One of those simple books of the Bible that can be read in its entirety rather quickly is the book of Jonah. While there are many wonderful lessons that can be found in the book, the story arc of Jonah is pretty straightforward. In fact, the story of Jonah has, for many years, inspired a simple outline of the book. It is, in some form or fashion: Jonah running from God, Jonah running to God, Jonah running with God, and Jonah running against God.----------In the second chapter, Jonah offers a prayer of repentance. He realizes that he has sinned in not following God's instructions and, realizing that acknowledgement of his sin alone is not enough, prays a penitent prayer in humility. It is that prayer that Frank will focus on and invite us to find application through this Sunday.
