Deep Change Starts with a Desperate Prayer | Jonah 2

Some change looks dramatic on the outside — but still leaves your heart untouched.

In Jonah 2, we hear a desperate prayer from the depths. Jonah sounds like he’s finally changed… until you realize he hasn’t. Not really.

This story is a mirror. It shows how hard it is to truly change — and how easy it is to settle for surface-level surrender. It exposes how slow our hearts can be, even when our words sound right.

But it also shows us something else:
That when we hit the bottom, God is already there.

Deep change doesn’t begin when we try harder.
It begins with a desperate prayer — and a God who refuses to give up on us.
