At times we may come to the Bible and think, “of course God listened to the prayers of people like Moses and David and Paul. They were great men of God, it makes sense that God would hear and answer their prayers.”

Thankfully, in God’s Word we don’t only have prayers of praise and victory from the godly, but prayers of distress and difficulty from the rebellious. We have the prayers of men and women who are hurting and struggling to find their way. The prayer of Jonah is a reminder that no matter where we are or what we have done, we have a God who will hear us and who desires to show mercy.
