Jonah 3:9-10

Who can tell if God will turn and repent, and turn away from his fierce anger, that we perish not?
And God saw their works, that they turned from their evil way; and God repented of the evil, that he had said that he would do unto them; and he did it not.

Prayer

I pray that that as I make the decision to turn away from all manner of evil, the Lord will see my heart as only he can see.
I pray that the Almighty will look at what Christ did on the cross of cavalry and my sins he will remember no more. Amen

Jonah 3:4-5

And Jonah began to enter into the city a day's journey, and he cried, and said, Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown.
So the people of Nineveh believed God, and proclaimed a fast, and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them even to the least of them.

Prayer

I pray that as I proclaim your word, the people will believe.
Let there be a turning away from sin.
Touch their hearts Lord.
The kingdom of heaven must gain and the devil has lost the battle.
Thank you father in Jesus name, amen.

Jonah 2:9-10

But I will sacrifice unto thee with the voice of thanksgiving; I will pay that that I have vowed. Salvation is of the LORD.
And the LORD spake unto the fish, and it vomited out Jonah upon the dry land.

Prayer

Lord though I might not be in the belly of a fish, but conditions indicate I am in the middle of nowhere.
I ask for your help, deliver me from this situation. There is nothing happening to me that you are not aware off. Make me whole again.
I promise to pay the vows I have made in the past; I will continue to bring sacrifices of praise unto you.
Thank you father as you are my God that answers prayers. I know I am on my way to my high places. Amen

Jonah 2:4

Then I said, I am cast out of thy sight; yet I will look again toward thy holy temple.

Prayer

Lord I pray that nothing will ever take me out of your presence, is it disobedience, pride, stubbornness?
Lord I ask that you hold my hand daily and help me to overcome all such behaviour in Jesus name.
Father I pray today that if at all I am far from you, I will have the presence of mind to call on you for mercy rather than waste my time trying to sort things better left to you. Amen.

Jonah 1:1-3

Now the word of the LORD came unto Jonah the son of Amittai, saying,
Arise, go to Nineveh, that great city, and cry against it; for their wickedness is come up before me.
But Jonah rose up to flee unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD, and went down to Joppa; and he found a ship going to Tarshish: so he paid the fare thereof, and went down into it, to go with them unto Tarshish from the presence of the LORD.

Prayer

Father, when you speak to me, let me hear.
Let nothing tamper with what I hear from you.
As I hear, let me have a heart of obedience.
Let me never ever depart from your presence.
Thank you for your grace in Jesus name. Amen
