Have you ever heard of The Prayer of Jabez? I highly recommend it. It's easily read in less than a day if you're so inspired, that's how thin it is. But just keep in mind, while God does answer prayer, it may not be the answer you're hoping for.

Sometimes I feel guilty because I worry that I pray for myself too much and not enough for others.
Thoughts?
What do you pray for when you pray for yourself? For example, are you praying that God will use you on your job to glorify Him? Are you praying that he molds and makes you into a person that He uses to help bring others to Him? These are not selfish prayers to me because they glorify Him. God bless.

And ending with: Let your will be done in my life Lord and not my own. For you Father know what my needs are before I can make them known and I trust you Daddy with my life, In Jesus name, Amen.
Give Him full control, knowing He has your best interest at heart.

"Daddy"? LOL That just struck me funny.
God says to come boldly to the thrown...He wants us to be bold. If we want something, ask for it. If he doesn't think it's best for us he'll let us know. But be strong enough to ask at least. Think for yourself and do what you can to help yourself giving Him praise in all things. But be bold.
