Jonah's Prayer of Desperation
Jun 8, 2025 • Monty Watson
At some point, we all pray prayers of desperation. Not normal, everyday prayers, but desperate prayers. Brokenhearted prayers. Life-and-death prayers. Lay-awake-at-night prayers. So did Jonah, from the belly of a whale! He cried out to God, “I called for help from the deep” (Jonah 2:2). When we’re in the deep, feeling distress and despair, overwhelmed and desperate for God to help, we can trust that He will hear our prayers.
