Isaiah 64:7 shows us that God desires His people to “take hold of Him.” That is an interesting description of what prayer is to us who trust God. We have all sinned and we have all experienced the dark results of sin. But God in His amazing grace and mercy delights to meet with ALL whose heart is broken over their sin. That is the BEST news! If we will turn to God - He delights to meet with us.
God wants us to “take hold of Him” in prayer and desire His best. Only God can restore our lives that are wrecked by sin. Our God longs for us to so desire Him instead of our sin that we, like a wrestler, take hold of Him and refuse to let go. That is the prayer of true brokenness.
