Ever Misunderstand God? How To Get Rest and Pray with Confidence

Have you ever been completely misunderstood—even when you were being clear? In today’s episode of Getting Personal With God, I share a personal story about communication gone wrong and how it revealed a much deeper issue: the way we hear matters just as much as what is said.Using real-life experiences, biblical insight, and Ephesians 1, this episode explores why misunderstanding happens in relationships—and especially in our relationship with God. Many believers avoid prayer or time with God because of shame, low self-worth, mistrust of God’s character, distraction, or feeling like prayer “won’t work.” But Scripture shows God loves you, chooses you, listens to you, and desires a personal, intimate relationship.You’ll learn how:Misunderstanding others mirrors how we can misunderstand GodIdentity wounds distort how we hear God’s voiceThe enemy twists truth to blind our mindsJesus modeled emotional maturity by not chasing misunderstandingAssuming “best intent” can transform relationshipsPraying Ephesians 1 brings revelation, intimacy, and clarity about who God isIf you want a deeper relationship with God, freedom from shame, and renewed confidence that He loves you and listens to you—this episode will encourage your heart and strengthen your faith.Mentioned in this episode: ✔ Ephesians 1 (The Passion Translation) ✔ Overcoming shame, guilt, and relational distortion ✔ Growing in spiritual maturity and wisdom ✔ Prayer for revelation and intimacy with GodIf today encouraged you, please share this episode and leave a quick review on Apple Podcasts—it truly helps others discover the show.Book offer - Prayer changes everything — especially when you’re seeking God for answers to anxiety, depression, relationships, finances, health, or life decisions. 100 Prayers Releasing 100 Cares shares real stories of answered prayer, biblical wisdom for hearing God’s voice, and practical faith tools rooted in Scripture to help you walk in freedom and bold trust in God.  "100 Prayers Releasing 100 Cares"  Click to order your copy today and begin praying with confidence! Prayer requests, questions, speaking engagements and guest inquiries: [email protected]
