I need not ask whether I may call on Him or not, for that word 'Whosoever' is a very wide and comprehensive one...My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no business of mine.

I call upon Him, and He will deliver.

There are many locks in my house and all with different keys, but I have one master-key which opens them all.
