"Then Jonah prayed unto the Lord his God out of the fish's belly." Jonah 2:1
Two thoughts here: first, Jonah was at the lowest point in his life. No one else could hear him--in man's eyes he would have been given up as lost with no hope. Ask any scientist--it's not possible to survive Jonah's situation. And yet God not only hears, but he answers in a miraculous way. We don't think of it that way often, but it's true--God performed a miracle to save Jonah's life.
Second, in spite of his disobedience and outright rebellion against God, the Lord was still Jonah's God.
We do stupid things and get ourselves into impossible situations. And yet, no matter how deep into trouble we get, and no matter how far from Him we run, God is able to hear us, able to save us, and able to keep us. He's never out of earshot, His arm is never too short to reach us, and He will never, ever forsake us.
