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 God
• Identity wounds distort how we hear God’s voice
• The enemy twists truth to blind our minds
• Jesus modeled emotional maturity by not chasing misunderstanding
• Assuming “best intent” can transform relationships
• Praying Ephesians 1 brings revelation, intimacy, and clarity about who God is

If 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 God
