Jonah’s Prayer

2From deep inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God:H3124H6419H3068H430H1710H45782"In my distress, O LORD, I called to you, and you answered me. From deep in the world of the dead I cried for help, and you heard me.H559H7121H6869H3068H6030H990H7585H7768H8085H69633You threw me down into the depths, to the very bottom of the sea, where the waters were all around me, and all your mighty waves rolled over me.H7993H4688H3824H3220H5104H5437H4867H1530H56744I thought I had been banished from your presence and would never see your holy Temple again.H559H1644H5869H5027H3254H6944H19645The water came over me and choked me; the sea covered me completely, and seaweed wrapped around my head.H4325H661H5315H8415H5437H5488H2280H72186I went down to the very roots of the mountains, into the land whose gates lock shut forever. But you, O LORD my God, brought me back from the depths alive.H3381H7095H2022H776H1280H5769H5927H2416H7845H3068H4307When I felt my life slipping away, then, O LORD, I prayed to you, and in your holy Temple you heard me.H5315H5848H2142H3068H8605H935H6944H19648Those who worship worthless idols have abandoned their loyalty to you.H8104H7723H1892H5800H26179But I will sing praises to you; I will offer you a sacrifice and do what I have promised. Salvation comes from the LORD!"H2076H6963H8426H7999H5087H3444H306810Then the LORD ordered the fish to spit Jonah up on the beach, and it did.H3068H559H1709H6958H3124H3004

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
