3. Look To God

 

Jonah 2:4 - I said, “I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple”.

 

4. Pray Words Of Faith

 

Jonah 2:6 - To the roots of the mountains I sank down; the earth beneath barred me in forever. But you, Lord my God, brought my life up from the pit.

 

5. Return To The Way
