Misunderstanding

Someone coined the phrase, "God of my misunderstanding."  I like that.  I believe in God, but I don't know God.  I only think that I know God.  When I think that I know God, I figure out how to ask for stuff believing that God wants for me what I want for myself.  Then things don't work out as I wanted.  God hates me?  I asked wrong?  God is not listening?  None of the above.  I simply do not understand the God in whom I believe.  When I look at all the good things I do have in my live, i.e. gratitude, I realize that this God is at work.  God's will and mine don't always agree.  But that is often a good thing.
