The speaker cries out that he is not worthy to see the Lord. They are unclean. However, one of the angels (called seraphim in the book) takes a piece of burning coals, handling it with a pair of tongs, and places the hot coal on his lips. Then, it is declared that their sin has been atoned for and their guilt has been taken away.
Before the Lord can use us, He needs to cleanse us. Although we may seem unworthy for gifts from the Lord, we are. We need to pray and ask for them. Now, answers and gifts may not come as instantaneous as we'd like--although there have been many times in my life the answers I get while praying come so fast I'm awestruck.
Another thing that this chapter teaches is to be humble when you go to the Lord. He knows if you are humble about your request.
