There’s something about a crisis that causes people to pray. When Jonah was trapped in the belly of the fish, he prayed eloquently with faith and hope, believing the impossible—that God would rescue him from the inside of the fish. Jonah’s story is included in the Old Testament. He wrote, "In my distress I called to the Lord and he answered me. From the depths of the grave I called for help and you listened to my cry."

God heard Jonah's prayer and commanded the fish and it vomited Jonah onto dry land. Do you believe that really happened? Do you believe that God actually sent a message to a fish with a guy inside, and ordered it to vomit on command? Well, I believe it really happened and let me explain why. You see, I believe in the supernatural. I believe that God is ultimately in control of everything that happens in our world and that he can do anything he chooses to do. If you don't believe in the supernatural you won’t believe in miracles. But if you do believe in the supernatural, then you can believe in miracles.

For Christians, believing in the supernatural gives us a reason to pray, for we are convinced that God hears and acts. God makes a difference. So whether we are praying about everyday routine events or about a clash of nations, Christians believe there is a supernatural God, and that he can do anything—even make a fish vomit!
