Jonah's Prayer

Read Jonah 2:1 and 10.
These two verses provide a good summary of what happened.
Why do you think God wanted us to hear what Jonah prayed?

Read all of Jonah 2.
According to 2:2, where was Jonah when he cried out?
What was Jonah's assessment of his condition?
Why did he think he was in that predicament?
Jonah had willfully disobeyed God.
Did he have any right to pray?
Had he been so bad that he shouldn't bother praying?
What do we learn from this text?
What do learn about God from the way He answered Jonah's prayer?
Have you ever chosen not to pray because you thought it wouldn't do any good?
What have you learned from Jonah 2 that would challenge that way of thinking?
