About this Bible story
In the story of Jonah and the Whale, Jonah tries to run from God's call to preach in Nineveh. Instead, he ends up inside a great fish! This is a powerful reminder of God's unwavering presence. As Jonah prayed, he cried, 'From inside the fish Jonah prayed' (Jonah 2:1).
“From inside the fish Jonah prayed.”

It's a great way to visualize how Jonah tried to escape God's plan. I reminded them of Jonah's prayer: 'From inside the fish Jonah prayed' (Jonah 2:1). They especially enjoyed the image of Jonah looking out from the whale's mouth, which sparked discussions about God's love and forgiveness.
