Yes we definitely can:
Mathew 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you; 8 for every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
Oh, so I just have to ask and God will give knowledge freely? No,not at all!! We can have a personal relationship with God by reaing his word the Bible, pray for wisdom as you read and study. God is not a God of confusion. Most people myself included never really gave thought about having a personal reelationship with God. But through the Bible and learning through Jesus example we can get to know God on a personal level.
This is a very lengthy read, mainly because I chose to place the whole verse, so you do not have
look up the verses.
