Selfish Prayes

This question has been something running through my head and I can't find the answer to it. My question is, is a such thing as Selfish Prayes because I am not sure. Sometimes I think when I am praying that I am praying for selfish things and that is way God don't answer them. Am I wrong about selfish prayes. I don't even know if there a such thing as Selfish Prayes. The last couple of weeks the cell group I attend has been reading this book called The Beginnger Guide to Intercession. It has really struk me to know that I have not been praying for what God wants but for what I want so that is why I ask the question about selfish prayes. This book is so good I have not been able to put it down since I have gotten it. God is revelaing so much to me.Well that is all I have to say for now.

Blessing to you all

Well I think that totally we can be selfish in our prayers! Whever we are praying for stuff that we dont need then it becomes selfish.
We can ask him for things but it needs to stay within his will...
I tend to be like God I really want this, or God can you make this thing Go away because I dont want to deal with it, but only if it is your will...
I also ask God to be show me his will and sometimes that means that he wants me to pray for something that I really want, but I try to remember that everything that I pray for has to be within his will...
"Fater I pray that april will be able to Identify weather or not her prayers are selfish or not lord, I pray that you will show her what your will for her is lord, Be close to her and convict her heart if necessary.
