The more we pray for ourselves the more power will our prayers have for any other purpose whatever; so praying for ourselves is the reverse of selfishness - it is truly glorifying God.
Never pray to God for release of your problems. Never pray to God to change your life, and to give you something better. This is wrong prayer.
