Jonah 2:7-8

God  is merciful, loving and kind. His grace is extended to us new each day and all we need is to cry out to Him and He is faithful to hear us. Pray always and in all things that His will be done in our life.

Jonah reaffirms his faith in the Lord and renews his commitment to Him. 

Mercy  (loyal love), the term that so often describes God’s faithfulness to His covenant and to His people is used as a name for the Lord.

 Jonah 2:7-8

Into Your holy temple.

Forsake their own Mercy.

Then the priests, the Levites, arose and blessed the people, and their voice was heard; and their prayer came up to His holy dwelling place, to heaven.

I have hated those who regard useless idols; But I trust in the Lord.

But they are altogether dull-hearted and foolish; A wooden idol is a worthless doctrine.
