The Book of Jonah
Chapter 2
¹ Then Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from the belly of the fish, ² saying, "I called to the LORD out of my distress, and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried, and you heard my voice.
(The Book of Jonah Chapter 2 verses 1 to 2)
Even though Jonah was aware that he was to blame for all that had happened on the ship as a consequence of his disobedience, he still had the cheek to call You on Your hotline, that is by means of prayer. I pray oh God that if we lose all values as some are gradually doing we do not lose our sense of humility because if we become arrogant to You and to others we are totally lost and there remains no hope but Your mercy for us amen.
³ You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me. ⁴ Then I said, 'I am driven away from your sight; how shall I look again upon your holy temple?
(The Book of Jonah Chapter 2 verses 3 to 4)
Oh God, my Father many times You permit me to experience desolations which are followed by consolations. The situation may appear to be out of control. We may feel surrounded by issues from all sides like waves breaking on to, our boat. In such situation I pray for Your deliverance, for repentance, but how will You accept me back? God smiles on to me and says do not worry my son, I realise that what you have done was not good or maybe could have been better or not at all, but I have paid the price for your redemption. Every lash of the whip that bit into my skin and ripped it apart, every nail that drove into veins skin and bone I endured for you. Come back and repent Amen.
⁵ The waters closed in over me; the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped around my head ⁶ at the roots of mountains. I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the Pit. O LORD my God.
(The Book of Jonah Chapter 2 verses 5 to 6)
Oh God, my Father I also feel that I am entangled by the forces of evil, that are trying to harass me from every side. My family hates me, all I have left is You. I thank You for saving me every time from sinking into the miry pit of my sins. Although I do not have much hair left, You always find somewhere to grab me from in order to save me. Amen.
⁷ As my life was ebbing away, I remembered the LORD; and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple.
(The Book of Jonah Chapter 2 verse 7)
Oh God, this is a very sensitive time in our lives. At the point of death, many have renounced their old lives and confirmed their belief in You. I pray oh God my Father, that I do not wait for the crisis to happen before deciding to believe in You. Amen.
⁸ Those who worship vain idols forsake their true loyalty. ⁹ But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay. Deliverance belongs to the Lord!" ¹⁰ Then the LORD spoke to the fish, and it spewed Jonah out upon dry land.
(The Book of Jonah Chapter 2 verses 8 to 10)
Oh God, my Father, on showing an act of faith in You, You ordered the whale to spit out Jonah of his situation and deliver him to a state of safety.
Oh God my beloved Father I would like to end this second chapter of the book of Jonah with the following prayer:-
Oh God my Father, I also wish to be delivered my state of chaos, to one of stability, You are aware of my situation. I have faith that at any moment You can give the command and the situation will change Amen. Thank You, Jesus.
