When You Don't Understand Yourself

Why do we sometimes react in ways we don’t understand? Why do our motives feel mixed, even when our faith is sincere?

In this FaithFuel devotional, Bob Shaw explores the tension believers feel when they don’t fully understand themselves. Drawing from Psalm 139:1–4, this episode reminds us that confusion about our own hearts is not a failure of faith — it’s part of being human.

Scripture shows that while we may not always understand our reactions, habits, or inner struggles, God understands us completely. Being fully known by God is meant to bring peace, not fear. Instead of pulling away in confusion, we’re invited to lean in and trust the One who sees the full picture.

This episode offers encouragement for anyone wrestling with self-doubt, mixed motives, or the feeling of being spiritually misunderstood — even by themselves.
