Jonah thought the storm was the worst part until he found himself swallowed by a great fish. In Jonah 2, we hear the prophet pray from the depths, facing the cost of his rebellion and the mercy of a God who refuses to let him go. This is more than a rescue story; it’s a picture of what happens when God strips away our idols, confronts our self-sufficiency, and draws us back to Himself. We’ll see Jonah move from despair to surrender, from running to being relaunched into God’s mission. Along the way, we’re reminded that salvation belongs to the Lord alone and that His purposes cannot be stopped, even when His people stumble. Whether you’re resisting God’s call, carrying the weight of hidden sin, or longing for a fresh start with God, Jonah’s prayer will confront you with the truth and invite you to look up from the depths.
