In this second installment of Jonah, we see Jonah praying a prayer in an unlikely place: within the belly of a fish. We know from the first chapter, Jonah's disobedience landed him here. But even as this place has brought him to his knees, Jonah's plea is not rejected before God. Through the 10 verses of Jonah 2, there is a Psalm-like longing and hope within Jonah. By the end, we see he has a heart of repentance and a desire to once again be reinstated for God's call. It's a call we experience too as we fully submit and surrender to God's will.
