Verse from Jonah

说： 我遭遇患难求告耶和华， 你就应允我； 从阴间的深处呼求， 你就俯听我的声音。 (约拿书 2:2)

“In my distress, O Lord, I called to you, and you answered me. From deep in the world of the dead I cried for help, and you heard me. (Jonah 2:2)

When God asked Jonah to do something he didn’t want to do, he ran in the opposite direction. But he found out pretty quickly there is no place God couldn’t find him. In fact, Scripture is full of stories of God finding people when they didn’t necessarily want to be found (Ex. 2:11–3:6; 1 Kings 19:1-7; Acts 9:1-19).

Maybe you have tried to hide from God, or maybe you think even God can’t see you. Please know this: If God sees and hears the prayer of a rebellious prophet in the belly of a big fish, then He sees and hears you wherever you are, whatever you’ve done. But that’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s actually a great comfort. He’s always there, and He cares!
