MY AFFLICTION

Jonah 2:2 (NKJV) 2  And he said: "I cried out to the LORD because of my affliction, And He answered me. "Out of the belly of Sheol I cried, And You heard my voice. 
    A child cried out recently for his mom she was just steps away, he did not want to be out of her sight, she gently persuaded, "It's ok I will be close by," it was no use the child cried even louder to have his mother near.
     The cry of desperation is heard often from the sick, maimed, defeated and persecuted. It is the natural response of the soul troubled, by fear, pain, terror or the unknown, we will by nature cry out to God the Creator, for relief in theses cases. God has in fact built into us the desire for supernatural deliverance, from the torments of this life and the option is entirely ours to pursue for He does indeed hear the hurting souls plea.
    Jonah was running form God, he had hidden so he thought from the gaze of the Heavenly Father. He was no more evident in the ship than in the belly of a fish in the depths of the sea. God sees all and the cries of Jonah even though he had fled from God, were heard and answered by the Savior. Do you wish for God to intervene, simply cry out to the Lord Jesus Christ confessing all your sins and He will hear you too, for NOTHING is too hard for Him.
Heavenly Father help me to seek You when things are well, that I might know You hear when things are hard. May my prayers be daily and effectual that others might benefit. Amen
