Lord God,
I am struggling with my prayers. Many, many years ago I decided it was selfish to ask for anything for myself in prayer. I have no problem praying for others and their needs. And I rejoice when the prayers are answered. But asking for favor from You seems awful. I know You aren't Santa Claus and I am six years old. I am an adult who has surrendered to You and trusts You for my life. So, God, how do I handle this? Can I come to You and ask boldly for myself? Can I ask in the name of Jesus for favors? Guide me, Lord. I await Your answer. Amen
