ISAIAH 64:1,4, " Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, that the mountains would tremble before you! ... Since ancient times no one has heard, no ear has perceived, no eye has seen any God besides you, who acts on behalf of those who wait for him."
Isaiah laments that he wishes God would just do something! I've felt like that. In fact, I feel like that right now. The thing is, he is asking God for something that he actually he could do! "God push the stars aside, tear open the sky and drop a footprint on the Everest!" Isaiah knew God was a God who intervened. God was not like other gods. God was in contrast to the other 'gods' because he didn't respond to service, sacrifice, works, money.... He responds to those who wait for him, for HIS salvation. This was unlike any other 'god' of his day. God responds to trust and dependence - NEED. Don't think you need God? Don't expect Him to show. Got all of your bases covered? He won't intervene.
However, if you've got to look up to see the bottom... cry out to the one who acts on behalf of those who wait for Him.
