Chris.
Apostle Paul was left on the open sea for a day and a night. That must have been a terrifying experience for him. In these days relatively few people actually travel by sea. It is mostly by air, quick and safe. I have, a few times, travelled by ship and long distance ferry and the experience was not bad. For Apostle Paul there were some really difficult experiences. We should pray for those people who work and travel on the sea.
