Seaweed headgear

 

5 “I sank beneath the waves, and the waters closed over me.
Seaweed wrapped itself around my head.
6 I sank down to the very roots of the mountains.
I was imprisoned in the earth,
whose gates lock shut forever." - Jonah 2:5-6

The picture of Jonah struggling in the ocean depths with seaweed wrapped around his head is pretty hilarious, in some ways. Many of us have encountered slimy seaweed while we have been swimming but having it wrapped around our head is next level. 

It speaks of being washed and tumbled in the powerful ocean depths. 

It speaks of finding oneself in the midst of tough times. 

It speaks of desperation.

Have you ever felt like this? How have you coped? It is noticeable how Jonah still finds the courage to pray to the Lord and to ask for help. Is this something we still do?
