Illuminate the World

Jonah's Fast

When the Ninevites heard God’s warning, they didn’t hesitate. The king proclaimed:

“Let everyone call urgently on God. Let them give up their evil ways and their violence. Who knows? God may yet relent and with compassion turn from His fierce anger so that we will not perish”
(Jonah 3:8-9)

True repentance is more than words—it requires a change of heart and action. As we fast and pray, let us seek God with sincerity, calling on Him urgently and trusting in His power to forgive, restore, and renew every season of our lives.
