For starters
- At what time/times in your life have you been most aware of God’s grace towards you?
- List the key things Jonah says about God in his prayer (maybe in pairs or small groups). How would you describe Jonah’s relationship with God at this point in the book?
- Look over the list you’ve just made.
- How do you respond to the characteristics of God Jonah describes here?
- Do any of them surprise you?
- In what way has Jonah experienced salvation (v.9)? How is his experience similar to that of Christians today? How is it different?
- What elements of Jonah’s prayer do you think we could learn from to help us praise God for his grace towards us? Try to think of practical ways in which we can remember to praise God more in our lives today.
