Here is how to pray for yourself other than the usual requests of health, safety, success, peace, etc.

Lord, grant me: (Eph. 3:16-19)

1) Strength in my inner being

2) Indwelling of Christ

3) Rooted in love

4) Understanding of the love of Christ

5) Fullness of God.

And this is how to be an answer to your own prayer: (Eph. 4:2-3)

– Walk in a manner worthy of the children of the Most High with humility, gentleness, patience, love, and unity.

If we are coming to the Lord only for physical things, I think we are missing the point. Sure, we do pray for our physical needs. But what we need more desperately is spiritual in nature. It is being in the right relationship with God and seeing Him as the supreme good that we were truly created for.

Desire this. Pray for this. Act on this.
