My personal testimony is when after I pray, the LORD teaches me in the WORD a lot about the things that I prayed, it's not intentional of me to open up a specific verse, but I use a bible reading guide always when I read and meditate, verses will stand out in relation to the things I prayed about, and I'm overwhelmed by the WORD.
