Hi, Fiona —
There is no problem at all with praying for what you wish. The Lord enjoys
hearing us ask for our needs. It is a witness to our trust in His
Divine Providence.
Whether you are praying for personal needs, success, peace of mind, health,
or whatever as long as we
accept His Answer, which in some cases, will:
- lack success
- lack a peace
of mind
- lack health, or whatever.
If the Lord says, No, to a petition, we know it is for either
our own good or the good of the Church and the
salvation of souls.
Soooo, as long as it is for a good intention, keep praying for whatever
your wish!!
Cases of ill intentions would include:
- God please kill my sister for hitting me.
- God please get rid of my enemies, so I don't have to pray for them.
- God please make something bad happen to my boss or that guy I hate at
work.
You said:
- How do I know what God wants?
A solid prayer life with guide you to His Will.
Hope this helps,
Mike
