Where or What is your Ninevah?

Have you ever run from God? And the answer is, yes...we all have. We have our own agenda of how we would like our life to be and when 'life interruptions' come and God ask us to change directions, we normally don't like it. I am studying the book of Jonah and amazed at what I am learning in the first chapter! I really had to think about what my 'Ninevah' is right now. Jonah didn't want to go to Ninevah because he didn't want the people there to be saved! I really thought about 'who' I pray for with regards to salvation. I realized that when I pray for some people that maybe haven't made me happy for some reason....I may not be genuinely praying for thier salvation. Could that be part of my Ninevah? Could I really be prejuiced about who I pray for? Do I really have a burden for their soul? How dare I not! After all, God saved a lowly sinner like me and offers me grace EVERY new day. We should not waste a minute in praying for the lost. God's will is certainly that we have a burden for His Kingdom...let's do our part!!
