Lord, You saved Jonah from inside the fish. He could not save himself from being lunch. Only You could. I cannot save myself from the things that really matter. Not from my own selfishness. Not from being scared in the dark. Not from dying someday. Save me, Lord, like You saved Jonah. I am calling to You from my own dark places. Hear me from in here. Amen.
