According to the Merriam-Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary; Tenth Edition,
MAYDAY is “an international radio-telephone signal word used as a distress call (italics mine).
It’s origin is in a French phrase “m’aider” meaning
“help me.”
Have you ever signaled God with this word?
Have you ever sent to Him this frantic distress signal?
“O God, help me! Help me!! Help me!!!”

But maybe you have not yet realized that you are in deep trouble?
“We are all like an unclean thing, and all our righteounesses are like filthy rags.
We all fade as a leaf, and our iniquities, like the wind have taken us away.” – ISAIAH 64:6

“ ‘May day!’ O God!
The waters have come up to my neck.
I sink in deep mud where there is no standing;
I have come into deep waters where the floods overflow me.”- PSALM 69:2 (altered)

If you do not like the sound of these words from the Bible, you truly are in deep trouble.
If you are willing to admit before God that your sins have separated you from Him,
then send your distress signal to Him right now, and you will discover that:
