If I were in a sinking ship, far from shore, my automatic reaction would be to grab for a life preserver. That’s where my only hope for life would lie.

In the same vein…

During times such as these, don’t feel ashamed for the quick prayer, “Lord, come quickly”. That’s your only hope beyond this life. No matter the course of this world, if you have the Life Preserver, Jesus Christ, then you are secure.

That being said, Lord, come quickly, but please allow those who don’t know you the time that they need.
