Jonah 2:6-7 King James Version (KJV)
6 I went down to the bottoms of the mountains; the earth with
her bars was about me for ever: yet hast thou brought up my life
from corruption, O LORD my God.
7 When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD: and my
prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.
Jonah 2:6-7 New Life Version (NLV)
6 I went down to the roots of the mountains. The walls of the
earth were around me forever. But You have brought me up from
the grave, O Lord my God. 7 While I was losing all my strength,
I remembered the Lord. And my prayer came to You, into Your holy
house.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
6 Jonah could have easily died in the sea and was on his way to
death until God sent the fish to sallow him up. This verse
mentions mountains in the ocean. Jonah is starting to be
humbled. To fully serve the Lord the way we should we need to be
humble.
7 Jonah was losing strength, truth is anytime we run from God we
lose strength. Jonah didn’t realize his strength started to go
as he got on the boat instead of when he fell into the ocean.
Jonah only remembered God because he had no other choice at this
point. We shouldn’t let it come to near death experiences to be
right with the Lord. Just Jonah’s prayer was heard, God hears
our prayers today.
