I was brought to the book of Jonah, where he ran from God’s calling on his life and was brought back to Him through extremely rough circumstances. Being in the belly of a large fish, Jonah had no choice but to pray a “belly prayer”! Our “belly prayers” happen when the circumstances in our lives are so broken that we have no other choice but do what Jonah did, that is, to cry out to the Lord in prayer! Just remember that nothing is beyond the reach of prayer because no prayer is too hard for God to answer.
Jonah 1:17-2:1-3 (AMP)
Now the Lord had prepared and appointed a great fish to swallow up Jonah. And Jonah was in the belly of the fish three days and three nights. THEN JONAH prayed to the Lord his God from the fish’s belly, and said, I cried out of my distress to the Lord, and He heard me; out of the belly of Sheol cried I, and You heard my voice.
For You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the floods surrounded me; all Your waves and Your billows passed over me.
