Is it right or wrong to pray for yourself? Why or why not?

I think it is a matter of perspective, and balance. Paul even prayed for an infirmity to be taken away from him:

2 Corinthians 12-6-10 -
6 Even if I should choose to boast, I would not be a fool, because I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain, so no one will think more of me than is warranted by what I do or say, 7 or because of these surpassingly great revelations. Therefore, in order to keep me from becoming conceited, I was given a thorn in my flesh, a messenger of Satan, to torment me. 8 Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me. 9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. 10 That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.


I think when we pray, and receive an answer, then we move on. But I don't think that God minds if we pray for ourselves; as long as we don't forget it's not "all about ourselves"

Just my opinion.
