Jonah 2:2
Jonah shows us how stubborn he really is (and how we can be!), not only does he disobey[and run from] God, set sail in the opposite direction of his 'would-be' destination, is thrown over board in to a terrifying storm AND swallowed by a huge fish.
If this is not enough, he then stays inside the belly of the fish (in total darkness and probably close to death!) for 72 hours BEFORE he decided to apologies to God!
The same can be said for us. Sometimes we have to walk some pretty hard pathways before we learn our lesson.
Jonah was tired with his life without God.
He decided to return to the Father (with his tail between his legs) like the prodical son (Luke 15:11-24). It is deffinately a difficult prayer to pray, but we must admit that we have done wrong and that we cannot improve the situation on our own and we need HELP!
When we reach this desperate low and yell for help, this is when we are at our most honest and God instantly hears.
He immediately responds to the cry of those who decide they want/need Him.
How tough do things have to get before you look to God?
