God's Answer to Our Cry for Help

Wanderlust is wanting to be anywhere but here. These are the people Isaiah is describing. They didn’t want to be in Egypt. They didn’t want to be in the wilderness. They wanted a king they could see to lead them. They wanted more and more from God. Because they were focused on themselves, they were discontent with where they were and what they had. How does the Lord answer our cries for help? How does God intervene when we are in trouble? How does He respond when we are in pain? When we want to be anywhere but here, God says, “Here I am.” Prayer and fasting takes place where we are. It is about drawing near to God in the wilderness of life and finding a God who will never leave us or forsake us.
