Ask for what you need and desire
The A in P.R.A.Y.E.R. stands for ask. When we prioritize prayer in our lives, we keep the lines of communication open with God. As you talk to God, asking Him what you need and desire is okay. He already knows what you need before you ask, so you might as well ask.
We can openly share our hearts with God when we pray to Him. He desires to have an intimate relationship with us. He is a good Father and knows how to give us good things. He is our good Shepherd and does not want us to lack anything. He truly is our provider.
As you pray, be honest about what you need and desire. Be bold and ask your heavenly Father. It is an opportunity to trust God knows what you need and will provide. Prayer is essential because asking God for what you need and desire.
