This passage reveals Jonah’s prayer while he was inside the big fish. Jonah tried to run away from God, but, in his love, God did not let him escape. After 3 days and 3 nights inside the belly of the fish, Jonah decided to cry out to God. God heard his cry and commanded the fish to vomit Jonah onto dry land.

Throughout the book of Jonah, we see that God saves those who humbly call on Him. We also see that God holds people accountable for their actions. God sometimes works in unusual ways to draw us to repentance and find salvation.
Application: Lord, from the depths of despair, hear our cry. Save us from ourselves and from going down the wrong paths in life. Lead us to salvation and light.
One Word: Salvation comes from the Lord
