Summary

In today’s episode of Your Daily Prayer, Kyle Norman explores the profound spiritual challenge and invitation of Isaiah 6:8—God’s call to step into His purpose with the words, “Here I am, send me.” This devotion reflects on the fear, self-doubt, and hesitation that often accompany God’s call, using examples from biblical figures like Moses, Sarah, Jeremiah, and Peter to highlight that reluctance is a natural human response.

But God’s call persists, not because of our perfection, but because of His grace. Whether you’re feeling unworthy, unprepared, or unsure, this prayer will encourage you to trust that God equips those He calls and invites you to boldly respond with faith.

Topics covered:

The meaning and challenge behind Isaiah 6:8
Biblical examples of hesitation and God's patient call
Why God’s call is rooted in His grace, not our qualifications
Encouragement for those discerning their purpose or ministry
A prayer for boldness and surrender to God’s will
