If you read my previous post about Jonah's story, you will see the centre of Jonah's short mission is a powerful prayer!

He stuck in a giant whale's belly! Sooner or later, he would be conscious, lack oxygen, and other facts will shut his body down. But, He trusts his God again and prefers to spend his last breath praying.

And He started to say:

" In my distress, oh Lord, I called you."  

If you are inside a fish and there is no way out! Back to Him and start to confess, begin to believe again - put away all your points of pride and wear the humble cloth before the Lord. There, right there - it is a new beginning. 

" And you answered me."

Hallelujah: There is a living hope for you and me. There is a new morning for us. 

Oh - All His mighty power will protect us. If you are deep in the world- he hears you, as he heard Jonah. God moves you from the world of the dead to the world of the living. It does not matter how deep we are stuck - He overcomes it - He will open a door. He will rescue us. 

As we continue to confess, all strongholds will fall- Jesus will break all chains. Your story is great friend, The measure of this world does not define you. That is where was the point of understanding for Jonah - Inside a fish. You might need time like Jonah. You may spend time inside the fish, But I believe God's story is significant than any other thing in your life. You are not dead! Let these dead bones sing a new song for the Living Lord. 

" When I felt my life slipping away" Jonah 2:7a

" Then, O Lord, I prayed to you" Jonah 2:7b

Let this prayer of us be a pleasing alter for the Lord. Let these carnal lips of us singlet it rain. The rain of the Holy Spirit can make fresh our souls for His kingdom.

" But I will sing praise to you" Jonah 2:9 

All the earth will proclaim his righteousness. All the world - All the universe sing a new song to " I AM "- Hallelujah. 

" Then the Lord ordered the fish to spit Jonah up on the beach,

and IT DID" Jonah 2:10

He will order all the earth for your favour. For your freedom, nothing will stop Him. He is running to You. Are we ready to come back home, my friend?
