Jonah cried out to God from the belly of the whale. What a place for a prayer meeting! This should teach us that there is not place on earth where we cannot or should not pray to God. There is no situation we can be in where he will be unable to hear us and deliver us. Note that the Hebrew for "hell" can also be rendered "grave" in many cases. It was as if Jonah was dead and gone and the fish's belly was his tomb, but God heard him and brought him back.
