Praying from the Depths

Jonah doesn’t pray from comfort—he prays from the depths. And he doesn’t pray with blame, but with repentance and surrender. In this soul-stirring message, Dr. Michael Youssef unpacks Jonah’s prayer as a model for anyone who feels trapped by disobedience, regret, or despair. This is where transformation begins: not when circumstances improve, but when we stop resisting God. Jonah’s prayer is: Honest about his need, Penitent about his sin, Filled with praise for God’s mercy, Grounded in Scripture and God’s promises. Even when we run, God does not abandon His own. He pursues us—not to destroy, but to redeem and recommission. The question is simple: will you keep resisting, or will you return and obey? It’s time to stop making excuses and say, “Surely it is me—and definitely I will go.” Scripture Focus: Jonah 1-2  If today’s teaching stirred a question, burden, or need for prayer, you don’t have to walk through it alone. 🙏 Pastoral Care & Prayer TeamsOur trained prayer partners and pastoral care team are available to pray with you and offer Biblical support.https://ltw.org/care💬 Receive personal answers to your faith questions—anytime, day or night—at:https://myfaithassistant.comIf you’ve been blessed by this podcast, please consider a tax-deductible donation to help extend this ministry—so another person can be encouraged, prayed for, and pointed to Christ.❤️ Support Leading The Way:https://www.ltw.org/donate
