Jonah 2:1-9

MY PRAYER CAME TO YOU
When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee…Jonah 2:7, KJV

Jonah was (and is still) a good evidence of God’s generosity to deliver from troubles.

In today’s text, Jonah gave the testimony of God’s deliverance. Narrating his ordeals, Jonah described his level of distress as being in the heart of sea and grave of death. This means seaweed, waves, breakers, deep water and threat of death engulfed him. It was a state of total hopelessness. No physical hand could reach him where he was. No man would even dare it.

Somehow, Jonah managed to offer prayer to God. He noted that his “prayer came to God.” Note the word ‘came’ as if prayer was a person. The truth is, prayer has ‘wings’ and it can fly to meet God for your needs to be met.

Every time you are faced with difficulties, always remember God. God’s line is never too busy to get your prayer through to Him; neither will it ever be out of reach, for there is no network failure with Him. Always bear this in mind: there is no hopeless situation with God. Therefore, if you dare to pray, your situation will change for good.

All God’s giants have been weak men who did great things for God because they reckoned on God being with them. – J. Hudson Taylor
