Current coverage includes Jonah. More books are being added.
Prayer in Jonah appears in crisis and in reflection, revealing dependence on God for rescue and guidance. Jonah’s prayer from distress and the sailors’ appeals show that calling on the Lord is a fitting response when human control ends.
14Therefore they cried to Yahweh, and said, "We beg you, Yahweh, we beg you, let us not perish for this man`s life, and don`t lay on us innocent blood; for you, Yahweh, have done as it pleased you."
6So the shipmaster came to him, and said to him, "What do you mean, sleeper? Arise, call on your gods! Maybe the gods will notice us, so that we won`t perish."
1Then Jonah prayed to Yahweh, his God, out of the fish`s belly.
2He said, "I called because of my affliction to Yahweh. He answered me. Out of the belly of Sheol I cried. You heard my voice.
7"When my soul fainted within me, I remembered Yahweh. My prayer came in to you, into your holy temple.
9But I will sacrifice to you with the voice of thanksgiving. I will pay that which I have vowed. Salvation belongs to Yahweh."
2He prayed to Yahweh, and said, "Please, Yahweh, wasn`t this what I said when I was still in my own country? Therefore I hurried to flee to Tarshish, for I knew that you are a gracious God, and merciful, slow to anger, and abundant in lovingkindness, and you repent of the evil.
