I cried out to the Lord because of my affliction, and He answered me. —Jonah 2:2 When God asked him to do something he didn’t want to do, he ran in the opposite direction. But he found out pretty quickly there is no place God couldn’t find him. In fact, Scripture is full of stories of God finding people when they didn’t necessarily want to be found (Ex. 2:11–3:6; 1 Kings 19:1-7; Acts 9:1-19). Maybe you have tried to hide from God, or maybe you think even God can’t see you. Please know this: If God sees and hears the prayer of a rebellious prophet in the belly of a big fish, then He sees and hears you wherever you are, whatever you’ve done. But that’s nothing to be afraid of. It’s actually a great comfort. He’s always there, and He cares! Thank You, God, that You are there for us. We hear Your words: “You will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with all your heart” (Jer. 29:13). We need not fear the troubles around us as long as the eye of the Lord is on us.
