Lost

The word "Lost" takes on such a desperate meaning when used in religious settings.

"I'm sorry I was late [to Bible Study]. I was lost."
"We are all Lost once."
"I took the wrong exit."
"The Devil leadeth us astray--to the wrong exit, into temptation."
"So...yeah. I was lost."
Pause, meaningful look, pat on the shoulder. "And now you are found."
