Conviction

Positioned on a capsizing vessel, one gazes with fear and trepidation upon dark, mysterious waters. Suddenly gripped by a benevolent, overwhelming force one dives in and swims for unseen shores and is quickly immersed in a sea that is fraught with hidden perils, yet the force of faith remains.
The waters are turbulent, and one struggles valiantly to remain afloat. Land appears like a brilliant sight in the distance and miraculously one eventually lands safely up on a friendly shore.
Amazed at having managed to deal with such trials successfully, one realizes that the same force never left you for a moment. In fact, the same generous power kept you from drowning; away from all the evil that tried to vanquish you and thus deposited you unhurt on solid ground.
