God is asking us to run away from Him like Jonah

"Go to the great city of Nineveh and preach against it... (1:1)
"But Jonah ran away from the LORD and headed for Tarshis.... (3a)
"Then the LORD sent  a great wind....4

"I am a Hebrew and I worship the LORD, the God of heaven, who made the sea and the land...9
"I know that it is my fault that this great storm has come upon you... 12

"In my distress I called to the LORD, and he answered me. From the depths of the grave I called for help, and you listened to my cry 2:2

"I said, 'I have been banished from your sight; yet I will look again toward your holy temple' 4
"But you brought my life up from the pit, O LORD my God 6

"But I, with a song of thanksgiving, will sacrifice to you. What I have vowed I will make good. Salvation comes from the LORD." 9

"But Nineveh has more than a hundred and twenty thousand people who cannot tell thier right hand from their left, and many cattle as well. Should I not be concerned about that great city?"

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for this time to meditate you and your will in the Holy Spirit.
please, let me pray in right ways.

The Lord,
I would like to listen your voice clearly which is true way and direction.
please, help me not to listen to our desire, deceitful desire.
please, make me listen to your true will and obey your commands.
please, God, encourage me to obey you, not to run away from your good will.
please, give me the opportunity to serve you and your people.

Thank you God for giving me new life to obey.
Thank you God for your redemption from my foolness.
Thank you God for your forgiveness through Christ Jesus.

Thank you for your response to my prayer.
please, heal me physically and spiritually; continuously make me your servant and disciple.
please, help me understand you and be thankful and humble.

Praise God, thank you God
I pray in Jesus Christ name Amen.
