Verse 1
God replied that He had been gracious in allowing a nation to call on Him-and to obtain responses from Him-since that nation did not normally pray to Him. The Apostle Paul applied this verse to the Gentiles, people to whom God had responded before they called (cf. Romans 10:20). This was the "nation" that Isaiah had in view when he originally gave this prophecy.
"To pray in God’s name means to submit to him and to pray in terms of his revealed character and will." [Note: Watts, Isaiah 34-66, p. 342.]
