United In Prayer - Sign of Jonah (Coptic Orthodox Church)

“When hard pressed, I cried to the Lord; he brought me into a spacious place” (Psalm 118:5)

“For Moses said, ‘The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among your own people; you must listen to everything he tells you. Anyone who does not listen to him will be completely cut off from their people.’[a] “Indeed, beginning with Samuel, all the prophets who have spoken have foretold these days. And you are heirs of the prophets and of the covenant God made with your fathers. He said to Abraham, ‘Through your offspring all peoples on earth will be blessed.’[b] When God raised up his servant, he sent him first to you to bless you by turning each of you from your wicked ways” (Acts of the Apostles 3: 22-26).
