Should I pray for general things such as : pray that all sick people get well? That there be peace everywhere in the world? That starvation cease to exist? That there be no more misery in the world? I envision this to be what heaven will be like.

Should I pray for personal gratifications such as: making money, success. finding the right spouse, respect and praise, being able to afford luxuries.

Should I pray for blessings on those that I know personally such as: myself, family, friends, acquaintances, groups or organizations.

Should I pray for spiritual growth, for strength and guidance in this life in order to do the Father's will, to touch the lives of people I come in contact with by spreading the Truth of the Gospel, lead people to salvation.

I go with what's on my heart at the time, like current prayer requests, something important in the news and some of the time praying in the Spirit. I think all your ideas are good but as far as those in need, I usually pray that others would help them in whatever way they can. Good to share thoughts on this:)(y)

All of the above, and anything else that you need an answer to.

Whatever is in your heart at the time
Perhaps The Holy Spirit put those things there. All things good and holy.
