Good Monday morning to you, my friend. I pray that the blessings of our LORD will be upon you during this new week.
Read Jonah 2.
This is the prayer offered up by the disobedient prophet after he had been in the belly of the great fish for three days and three nights. And this specific petition before God serves to instruct us in a number of ways:
1 – even if we are facing the most dire circumstances, our Good God is still (always) crafting His Kingdom story in each of our lives
2 – no matter where we are, our LORD hears our prayers
3 – we pray with confidence, looking forward to the deliverance that God will provide
4 – His name is MERCY
5 – we thank Him in the midst of trials, recognizing that He, and He alone, is our salvation
No matter what you are facing today, take heart – remember Jonah’s prayer, and be confident that He hears your pleas and knows your situation. Pray!
