Isa 1:15 | MHM | STEP | v. 15 : Even when they pray a lot and stretch out their hands to God, He does not listen. Their hands are full of blood, which means they are guilty of serious sins. God will not hear the prayers of people who refuse to turn from evil (Psalm 66:18 ). These verses show that God wants real change in our hearts and lives, not just outward religious actions. Hypocrisy in worship is especially offensive to God. If we want God to accept our worship and prayers, we must truly repent and live in a way that pleases Him.
