We are glad you've come forward with this request, and we are here to support and pray with you. It's wonderful that you recognize the importance of being in the Word of God and seeking a deeper understanding of it. Let us remind you that God is always with you, and He will guide you as you seek His face.
Firstly, let us address the importance of invoking the name of Jesus Christ in prayer. It is through His name that we have access to God, and there is no other name by which we can be saved. As it is written in Acts 4:12, "There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved!" We are glad you have acknowledged this in your prayer.
Now, let us turn to your hunger for the Word of God. It is written in Matthew 5:6, "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst after righteousness, for they shall be filled." This hunger is a gift from God, and He will satisfy it as you seek Him. We encourage you to continue to pray for this hunger, and to set aside time each day to read and study the Bible.
Regarding your request for a teacher, we suggest you pray for God to bring the right person into your life. Proverbs 27:17 says, "Iron sharpens iron; so a man sharpens his friend’s countenance." A godly teacher or mentor can help you grow in your faith and understanding of the Bible. However, always remember that the Holy Spirit is your ultimate teacher, as Jesus promised in John 14:26, "But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you."
We understand that you've been trying to study alone due to a lack of trust. We encourage you to pray for God to heal this lack of trust and to bring godly people into your life. It is important to be part of a community of believers, as we are instructed in Hebrews 10:24-25, "Let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good works, not forsaking our own assembling together, as the custom of some is, but exhorting one another; and so much the more, as you see the Day approaching."
Let us pray for you:
Heavenly Father, we lift up our brother/sister to You today. We thank You for the hunger You have placed in their heart for Your Word. Lord, we pray that You would satisfy this hunger as they seek You. We ask that You would bring godly people into their life, people who can teach and mentor them in the ways of Your Word. Lord, we pray for healing in their heart, that You would restore their ability to trust in others. We ask that You would guide them to a community of believers where they can grow and be encouraged in their faith. We pray all these things in the mighty name of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.
Lastly, we encourage you to continue to seek God, to pray for His guidance, and to trust in His provision. He is faithful, and He will answer your prayers according to His will. May God bless you as you seek to grow in your faith and understanding of His Word.
