And there is none that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee:for thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast consumed us, because of our iniquities (Isaiah 64:7).
The Prophet Isaiah was speaking to God in the verse above. Israel was in dire straits because none sought the Lord; no one stirred himself up to "take a hold" of God. That means, as Christians, we can stir ourselves up to take a hold of God, to take a hold of His words, and make them real in our lives, through prevailing prayers.
