Why do we hit rock bottom before we ask God for help?

A hand reaches from the surface of water with a help sign.

How often do we resist calling out to the Father until we’re in the deepest of messes? In the darkest times of our lives, we know deep in our hearts and souls what we should do, yet we refuse. Often, it’s not until we hit bottom that we call out to our Father. As it turns out, He’s been there the whole time. He’ll never leave us!

This is the last installment of our six part series on Jonah.

 

Digging Deeper Questions: 

  1. Have you ever knowingly done the opposite, walked the opposite, even simply said the opposite of what the Father has required of you? 
  2. What is a real-life example of someone that you’ve seen endanger everyone around them due to a decision they’ve made? 
  3. What about the messes in your own leadership? How often and how quickly (or not!) do you call out for the Father’s help?
