But it's bad advice to pray for the Holy Spirit to give you the right interpretation of a text. The writings are inspired and authoritative, not the interpretation we think the Holy Spirit is giving us. This is why the words should be our focus, not our feelings. If you think God is telling you something through Scripture that is not connected to the meaning of the words in their context , it can't be of God because God chose to communicate through language, not around it. Yes, the Holy Spirit is our teacher, but that means He illuminates what's already there.
All teachers work from a body of information, clarifying it and passing it on.
The Holy Spirit does not give new information not in the inspired words. The curriculum, so to speak, is then standardized for all Christians. Every person has equal access to the meaning. There are no private messages in Scripture. God took pains to give us an objective revelation in the words of the Bible to protect us from subjectivism.
