Day 4: Thrown Overboard

Scripture:
"Pick me up and throw me into the sea,” he replied, “and it will become calm. I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you.”
— Jonah 1:12

Reflection:
Jonah finally faces the consequence of his running. He acknowledges his part in the chaos and offers himself up to calm the storm. Sometimes, surrender feels like failure—but here, it’s the first step toward grace. Admitting where we’ve gone wrong isn’t weakness—it’s wisdom. God often meets us right after we let go.

Journaling Prompt:

• What storm are you facing that may require surrender instead of control?

• Is there an area of your life where God is calling you to stop running and start trusting?
