       Jonah 2:1-3 King James Version (KJV)
       2 Then Jonah prayed unto the LORD his God out of the fish's
       belly,
       2 And said, I cried by reason of mine affliction unto the LORD,
       and he heard me; out of the belly of hell cried I, and thou
       heardest my voice.
       3 For thou hadst cast me into the deep, in the midst of the
       seas; and the floods compassed me about: all thy billows and thy
       waves passed over me.
       Jonah 2:1-3 New Life Version (NLV)
       Jonah’s Prayer
       2 Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God while in the stomach of
       the fish, 2 saying, “I called out to the Lord because of my
       trouble, and He answered me. I cried for help from the place of
       the dead, and You heard my voice. 3 You threw me into the deep
       waters, to the very bottom of the sea. A flood was all around me
       and all Your waves passed over me.

       These are my thoughts, please share yours.
       1 Jonah finally turns to the Lord, what Jonah thought was going
       to happen if he died because he would have met with God and
       would have known that he ran from His plan.
       2 Jonah knows that God would hear him, Jonah still had a
       rebellious heart, God had to use this time to break him, and
       sometimes God has to break us so we can better be used for Him.
       3 Jonah realizes his situation but needs to be willing to do
       what God wants of him, sometimes we fall because we are
       unwilling to submit to His will.
