Jonah 2:7

Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon

Read in KJV Bible Reader

Jonah 2:7. When my soul fainted within me I remembered the LORD:

It is a blessed memory that serves us faithfully in a fainting fit. Mostly, when the heart faints, the memory fails; but Jonah remembered the Lord when his soul fainted within him.

Jonah 2:7. And my prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple.

Think of Jonah’s prayer going right within the vail, and reaching the ear and heart of God in his holy temple. He said that he was cast out of God’s sight, yet his prayer went into God’s temple. Oh, the prevalence of a bold believing prayer! "My prayer came in unto thee, into thine holy temple."
