  4. Repent • Jonah 2:1 • Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from the belly of the fish

  5. Remember • Jonah 2:7 - When my life was fainting away, I remembered the Lord, and my prayer came to you, into your holy temple. • Lamentations 3:22-24 • 22 The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; 23they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. 24“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”

  6. Psalm 51:1-4 • Have mercy on me,O God, according to your steadfast love; according to your abundant mercy blot out my transgressions. 2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin! For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment.

  7. Revere • Jonah 2:8-9 • 8Those who pay regard to vain idols forsake their hope of steadfast love.9 But I with the voice of thanksgiving will sacrifice to you;what I have vowed I will pay.Salvation belongs to the Lord!

  8. Rejoice • Jonah 2:9b (Salvation is from the Lord) • Luke 15:10 • Just so, I tell you, there is joy before the angels of God over one sinner who repents. • Psalm 32:5 (NIV) • Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.”And you forgave the guilt of my sin.

  9. Are You Driven by Guilt? • Has God Caught You? • 2 Corinthians 7:10 • For godly grief produces a repentance that leads to salvation without regret, whereas worldly grief produces death.

  10. Wake Up! Stop Running from God. Start Running to Him and Rejoice in the Rescue!
