Praying From The Darkest Place

Jun 4, 2023    Pastor Peter Gowesky

Life can be a rollercoaster ride, full of ups and downs, twists and turns. We all face moments when it feels like we're trapped in the belly of a whale, swallowed by despair, fear, or overwhelming circumstances. In these dark places, prayer becomes critical to our way forward. Jonah, the biblical prophet, knew this all too well, and his story holds invaluable lessons for us today.


In Jonah 2, we witness Jonah's desperate plea for deliverance from the depths of the sea. He was at his lowest point, surrounded by darkness and on the brink of despair. Yet, instead of giving in to hopelessness, Jonah turned to prayer. He found redemption and a renewed sense of purpose through his heartfelt communication with God.


In this message, we'll unpack Jonah's prayer and learn how to apply its principles to our lives. We'll explore the power of authenticity in prayer, the importance of surrendering control, and the transformational effect of turning things over to God.
