Isaiah 64:7 read as an indictment - there is no one that calleth upon thy name, that stirreth up himself to take hold of thee; thou hast hid thy face from us, and hast delivered us into the hand of our iniquities. Neville then goes to Deuteronomy 31:18 for the cause and finds only one: God hides his face because man has turned to other gods. There is no second reason anywhere. And the turning is everywhere - a billion Christians, six hundred million Muhammadans prostrating toward Mecca several times a day, the synagogue reader covering the holy name with a cloth so that he may not look upon it, a man bending his knee before carved marble or hanging an image round his neck. Hold only to the one God, which is I AM, and nothing is impossible; rationalise any other and you are delivered into the hand of your own iniquities, lost in your own creations without knowing it.
