“In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me.”
(Jonah 2:2)

This week’s EFKS theme:
Mental Health and Faith

A Thought for Today

We can call to God from the lowest places.

What This Means for Us Today

Jonah prayed when he felt surrounded, overwhelmed, and far from safety.

He did not wait until everything was better before calling to God.
Prayer can begin right in the middle of distress, with whatever words we have.

Carry This With You

You can call to God from where you are.

A Simple Prayer

Lord, hear me when I call to You.
Stay near when I feel overwhelmed.

Today’s Invitation

If today feels heavy, pause and speak honestly to God.
A simple prayer is enough.
