Ephesians 1:18

And that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened (flooded with light by the Holy Spirit), so that you will know and cherish the hope to which He has called you, the riches of His glorious inheritance in the saints.

We can pray that God will direct, guide, and teach us by the word. If we have a heart willing and open to the guidance of the Holy Spirit, we will receive knowledge of the things of God. God will illuminate the word and give us a deeper understanding of how to apply it to our lives. Start praying Ephesians 1:18-23.
