Jonah 2:1-2 NLT‬ Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from inside the fish.

Another person would have accepted their consequence of disobedience without a prayer, but not Jonah. Although Jonah deserved to be in that terrible situation, Jonah asked the One whom he disobeyed for help.

When we knowingly, intentionally, and willfully go against God and our lives are in shambles, we can always call on God for help.

[2] He said, “I cried out to the Lord in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and Lord, you heard me!

Even if we put ourselves in a negative situation, if we throw away our pride and self-pity and ask God for help, in His mercy He’ll hear us and answer our cry.

We don’t have to “go down with the ship” or accept where we are as a permanent punishment. No matter how deep of a hole we dug ourselves into, we can ALWAYS call on God for help and He’ll help us.
