What is the significance of Jonah calling God 'my God'?

Answered in 1 source

Jonah's personal relationship with God signifies covenant faithfulness despite his rebellion.

When Jonah refers to God as 'my God' in Jonah 2:1, it indicates a personal relationship that persists despite Jonah's disobedience. This phrase embodies the covenantal bond God maintains with His people. Even when Jonah fled from God's command, he remained a child of this covenant, underscoring the reality that God's faithfulness is not contingent upon our performance. The Lord pursued Jonah even into the depths of his rebellion, demonstrating grace that leads to repentance. This relationship is foundational for believers today, as it assures us that we can approach God as our own, regardless of our shortcomings.
