Hello, may I share my thoughts?
Please consider James 1:5 ...... Luke 11:9-13 ........Proverbs 2:3-9 .... Prov. 4:7....
Have you been using a various number of Bible translations and Interlinears in your Bible study? (the Bible aids that convert Hebrew and Greek to English.) If so, then you kow how very helpful these can be iin a persons personal Bible study. (!)
As we know, as Jesus said, it is our heavenly Father who actually does the teaching. [John 6:45 ... John 8:47 (This is why Jesus would say: "for those who have ears to listen".
When we put our full trust in God , (having accepted His Son, Jesus Christ and believing upon his name as well as obeying the commandments he gave, we can have full confidence that when we need help in our learning and understanding, that when asking God in prayer, God will listen when we ask Him for true knowledge. Of course we need to "keep knocking" in other words, keep praying, keep seeking for it as "hid treasure". (Proverbs 2:4) As it takes effort to find a hid treasure, likewise it takes effort to gain knowledge and discreetion. (Wisdom)
God states that "light is sown for the righteous". ( Psalms 97:11) So while we ask of Him, we have to examine our Christian walk and to try to correct anything that may not be approved of by God. Proverbs 3:32 ... Prov. 4:7...
