“Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's belly,” - Jonah 2v1
I love how God allows us to personalise Him as our God. It is clear from this little statement here that Jonah was “saved” because the Lord is called His God and he was able to call out to his God in a time of trouble.
When Jonah prayed this prayer he was literally in the depths of despair and also rejoicing in God’s provision. Because of his sin he found himself on the ocean floor before God sent a specially appointed fish to rescue him. More about his dilemma later, but what a blessing to know that Jonah could call on a God who was his in a time of trouble.
