“For I resolved

to know

nothing while

I was with you

except Jesus Christ and him

crucified.”

“‘O LORD, is this not what I said when I was still at home?

Jonah 4:2-3

Intr.:

That is why I was so quick to flee to Tarshish.

I knew that you are

1. a gracious and

2. compassionate God,

3. slow to anger and

4. abounding in love,

5. a God who relents from sending calamity.

End:

Now, O LORD, take away my life, for it is better for me to die than to live.'”
