Today, pray through this deep prayer from the Bible…it comes from Jonah, chapter 2.

I called to the LORD out of my distress,
and he answered me;

out of the belly of Sheol I cried,
and you heard my voice.

You cast me into the deep,
into the heart of the seas,
and the flood surrounded me;
all your waves and your billows passed over me.

Then I said, ‘I am driven away from your sight;
how shall I look again upon your holy temple?’

The waters closed in over me;
the deep surrounded me;
weeds were wrapped around my head

at the roots of the mountains.

I went down to the land whose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the Pit, O LORD my God.

As my life was ebbing away, I remembered the LORD;

and my prayer came to you,

into your holy temple.

Those who worship vain idols forsake their true loyalty.

But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you;

what I have vowed I will pay.

Deliverance belongs to the LORD!
