The Prayer:
Jonah’s Prayer for Salvation
📖 “Out of my distress I cried to the Lord, and He answered me, from the belly of Sheol I cried out; You heard my voice!
For You threw me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods closed round me. All Your waves and billows passed over me.
Then I thought, 'I am banished from Your sight; how shall I ever see Your holy Temple again?'
The waters round me rose to my neck, the deep was closing round me, seaweed twining round my head.
To the roots of the mountains, I sank into the underworld, and its bars closed round me forever. But You raised my life from the Pit, O Lord my God!
When my soul was growing ever weaker, O Lord, I remembered You, and my prayer reached You in Your holy Temple.
Some abandon their faithful love by worshipping false gods, but I shall sacrifice to You with songs of praise. The vow I have made I shall fulfill! Salvation comes from the Lord!”
~ Jonah 2:2-9.
Recite This Bible Verse to Make the Prayer 2x Stronger
📖 "I waited patiently for the Lord; and He inclined unto me, and heard my cry. He brought me up also out of an horrible pit, out of the miry clay, and set my feet upon a rock, and established my goings. And He hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God: many shall see it, and fear, and shall trust in the Lord."
~ Psalm 40:1-3
Why This Prayer Matters
Jonah’s story is a reminder that no place is too deep for God’s reach. No situation is too lost, no darkness too strong, no failure too great.
The Lord is the rescuer of those who call upon Him.
He delivers those who are drowning.
He lifts those who are sinking.
He answers those who cry out in faith.
If you feel overwhelmed, forgotten, or trapped in life’s struggles, this prayer is for you.
Say it, believe it, and trust that the Lord is already working to bring you out of the depths.
Stay Blessed,
Mama Raya.
