Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem
The sailors were hesitant to throw the Prophet of their new-found faith overboard, so they tried their very best to compensate for the storm. How often do we ourselves, in our eagerness to "fix things", actually find ourselves working feverishly against God's Plan?
In any case, they finally yielded to the Will of God, and with much prayer and concern that they did not fully understand, threw Jonah into the sea.
A Great Fish (not a Whale, as usually pictured) swallowed Jonah alive, and he was in there for three days and three nights. Jesus alludes to this event when he predicts His own three days and nights in the "belly of the earth", meaning, of course, the tomb. He calls it "The Sign of Jonah".
Come and Pray For the Peace of Jerusalem, For Our FRiends in Need, For Persecuted Believers, and For Our Beloved Nation.
Blessings To All Who Visit This Garden of Prayer.
This Symbol Represents Christians in The Middle East, who desperately need our Prayers.
Hallelujah and Amen
