I would really appreciate your prayers.

Studying is dangerous to faith and intuition. Notice Jesus didn't write any books or tell people to study a lot. I think it was Solomon who said studying was a weariness to the soul. OT says no one needs an external teacher and that their minds will be made new from within. Of course some instruction is good but a person needs intuitive realization and not intellectual analysis - too much study the wrong way blocks that.
