~~~Daily Verse~~~

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭65:1‬ (‭NLT‬‬)

"The LORD says, "I was ready to respond, but no one asked for help. I was ready to be found, but no one was looking for me. I said, 'Here I am, here I am!' to a nation that did not call on my name."

~~~My Thoughts~~~

In this verse, Isaiah is prophesying what the Lord has to say to Israel. When I came across this verse, I was completely astonished. I thought about my daily life; I often question "Why hasn't God stepped into this situation in my life?" But then I realize that I never asked Him to. We constantly think that God is far away and He'll never hear our cries, but that isn't true. He is right by us, eagerly waiting to hear us call out to Him for help, guidance, strength, or whatever it is that we may need. He is right there for you, so seek Him in your struggles. Call out His name, because in Him alone you will find the answers.
