Mercy

Here in Jonah's prayer, we see his REPENTANCE, which isn't exactly forthcoming, but it is there, and we see God's REDEMPTION, as He commands the fish to spit Jonah out. But behind it all is the mercy of God, who still wants to use Jonah even though Jonah has fled from God and His Word. God is also not finished with you, no matter how far away you might feel.
