You cast me into the deep, into the heart of the seas, and the flood surrounded me; all your waves and your billows passed over me. Then I said, "I am driven away from your sight; how shall I look again upon your holy temple?" (Jonah 2: 3-4)
God did not cast Jonah into the sea. Jonah went to sea trying to escape God.
Jonah was not driven from the sight of God, he ran away of his own free will.
Too often we separate ourselves from God and then blame God for not being close.
