My spirit was not at rest. Now he's not talking about physical exhaustion. He's not talking about a lapse in faith. What he's communicating is this idea that he is struggling. He is struggling.

Jonah doesn't surrender to God's sovereignty. We see it when he runs away, right? God tells him to do something, he runs the other way. We see it when he throws his tantrums in chapter four, right? But we see it also in Jonah thinking he knows who should be forgiven and who shouldn't, right? Jonah puts himself on par with God. He doesn't see that you're the God of the universe, and I'm not.
