Jonah
"I called out to the LORD, out of my distress,and he answered me; out of the belly of Sheol I cried,and you heard my voice. For you cast me into the deep,into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me;all your waves and your billowspassed over me. Then I said, 'I am driven awayfrom your sight; yet I shall again lookupon your holy temple.' The waters closed in over me to take my life;the deep surrounded me; weeds were wrapped about my head6at the roots of the mountains. I went down to the landwhose bars closed upon me forever; yet you brought up my life from the pit,O LORD my God.When my life was fainting away,I remembered the LORD, and my prayer came to you,into your holy temple. Those who pay regard to vain idolsforsake their hope of steadfast love. But I with the voice of thanksgivingwill sacrifice to you; what I have vowed I will pay.Salvation belongs to the LORD!"
* Does God bring distress that we might call to him?
* What things have I ran from God from?
* What ways I am running From God?
So Jonah arose and went to Nineveh, according to the word of the LORD. Now Nineveh was an exceedingly great city, three days’ journey in breadth. Jonah began to go into the city, going a day’s journey. And he called out, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown!" 5 And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them.
And he issued a proclamation and published through Nineveh, "By the decree of the king and his nobles: Let neither man nor beast, herd nor flock, taste anything. Let them not feed or drink water, 8but let man and beast be covered with sackcloth, and let them call out mightily to God. Let everyone turn from his evil way and from the violence that is in his hands. 9 Who knows? God may turn and relent and turn from his fierce anger, so that we may not perish."
When God saw what they did, how they turned from their evil way, God relented of the disaster that he had said he would do to them, and he did not do it.
Therefore now, O LORD, please take my life from me, for it is better for me to die than to live." And the LORD said, "Do you do well to be angry?"
* Do I care more for my comfort then lost souls?
"Oh Father whatever it will do it, Bring cause it. I ask I beg of you to do this for us. Bring the trails. Bring distress on your people. Whatever my God that they will trun and call out to you. Show us Lord where we have ran from you, show us that we can't hide from you. Come after us Lord put us in the fishs belly so they only place we have to cry to is you. Father use to go to place like Nineveh, the people we don;t like. Let us go to bring the Gospel, Let it be My God you have fear you and trun from their evil ways. Show us Lord where we care more about our comfort our lives then we do about the lost amen"
