When You Don’t Understand Something

Confusion Is Normal
Everyone gets confused at times—even pastors, teachers, and scholars. Confusion isn’t a sign you’re doing it wrong. It’s an opportunity to grow.

Five Tools for Clarity
When something doesn’t make sense, try this:
Pause.
Pray for wisdom.
Read the surrounding verses.
Use a simple translation like NLT or CSB.
Ask someone you trust.

God Is Not Hiding Truth From You
He wants you to understand His Word. He will guide you when you ask.

Reflection
What part of the Bible has confused you before?

Remember This
Questions are not failures—questions help you grow.

Prayer
God, give me wisdom when I’m confused and help me seek clarity with humility. Amen.
