Prayer

I recently read an article about a company that allows you to tweet prayers to the Western Wall in Jerusalem.  In theory, it works the same way as actually going to the Wall, praying there and then putting your written prayer into one of the cracks of the wall.  This got me to thinking about some of the things that one might pray about or for.  I’m sure that people pray for many personal reasons.  I have not REALLY prayed for quite a while.  I have not been to a synagogue in at least 2 years.  I have been selfish and not chosen to make the time to go.  That is my fault. 

There are many things in my life I would love to change.  For example:  I would love to have someone with whom I can share my life, I would love to have more money in my bank account, and I would love to be a better athlete to name a few; but are those things that you pray for?  I think they are very selfish and not very important in the grand scheme of things in the world.  Do you pray for the health of family?  What about peace?  What about an end to poverty? 

Does it make me a bad person if I do not know what I should pray about?
