No Short Hand And Dull Ears

Isaiah 59:1,2

Behold, the LORD'S hand is not so short
 That it cannot save;
 Nor is His ear so dull
 That it cannot hear.
But your iniquities have made a separation
between you and your God,
And your sins have hidden His face from you
so that He does not hear. 

*
My first response to verse 1 was, "I knew that!" followed by, "but why do
I so often think that God cannot hear my cries, or that He does not want
to do anything about it? The fact of the matter is explained in verse 2.
It is my own iniquities that separated me and God and thus I am veering
further away from God while my mind latches on to many complaints I have against
God's "limitations."

God's hand is not short or His ears dull to hear me and then to do anything
He wishes in response to that. The bottleneck lies with my own heart
which, from my perspective, gives an illusion of God being unable to
do anything about what I am asking Him. I must claim verse 1 every
morning to not lose sight of how almighty my God is, and I must first
align myself to His will.
