Jonah 4:2 – Finally! An Honest Prayer from Jonah
http://media.blubrry.com/one_verse/feeds.soundcloud.com/stream/346448847-redeeminggod-91-jonah-42-finally-an-honest-prayer-from-jonah.mp3

Jonah angry at God Jonah 4 2Have you ever been angry at God? Of course you have. Life has a way of crushing us all, and when that happens, we often get angry at God about it.

When you’re angry at God, what do you do? Do you try to handle it yourself? Or do you lash out at God in your anger? This study of Jonah 4:2 reveals what Jonah did, and you will find it very encouraging for your own prayer life going forward.

The Text of Jonah 4:2

He prayed to Yahweh and said, “Now Yahweh, was this not my word to You while I was in my own land? So that is why I fled to Tarshish. I know that You are a God who is gracious and compassionate, taking long to get angry, having great loyalty, and is sorry about doing evil.”

In this discussion of Jonah 4:2 we look at:

  • The shocking revelation that Jonah does in fact know what God is like
  • The five terms that Jonah uses to describe God
  • Why it is good and helpful to pray when we’re angry

    These pod casts are on target to my heart, having pondered the scriptures for years in wonder … Right now is a fearful and grievous time in my life and those of my children …We need to hear from God . I do inwardly carry His word .How can we tell if it is just our own head, fanciful imaginings… When someone else unrelated in the body brings up the truth God has shown Him and shares what he believes to be true of a LOVING GOD…Wow, we are not alone, He is loving us always, everyone a message of remembrance… listen and hear…
