In your prayers consider Psalm 69:13

But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord.

At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.

David prays to God.

David prays for God to work in God's time.

David prays for God to work in the abundance of God's steadfast love.

David prays to God because he knew God was faithful.

Then in John 4:34 Jesus say "My food is to do the will of him who sent me and to accomplish his work."  

Our prayers should acknowledge who God is and how He works.  Our prayers should demonstrate an utter dependence on God and not the things of this world.  

God, my prayer is to you because you are my peace.
NOT God give me stuff so that I will be happy!
