Old Testament Prayers
Jonah's Prayer from the Fish
Out of the Belly of Hell
Description
Swallowed by a great fish, Jonah prayed from the depths—acknowledging God's discipline, remembering His temple, and vowing to pay his vows. God commanded the fish to release him.
Key Verses
Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly, And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD, and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou heardest my voice... When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple... But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
