Exercise True Righteousness

“Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you have not seen it? Why have we humbled ourselves, and you have not noticed?’ (Isaiah 58:3a)

You’ve fasted, you’ve prayed, and your prayers continue to go unanswered. You want to know why, why the Almighty God hasn’t heard your cries to Him, the One “that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,”, why hasn’t he answered your prayers. According to the book of Isaiah their prayers weren’t answered because of the insincerity of their worship. It was superficial and only looked good from the outside. God calls us to be righteous and it is when we exercise true righteousness that God hears and answers prayer.
