Know first, that what you seek is holy, and of the unseen qualities of God. In prayer, we seek what is supplied through the Spirit of Truth. As Jesus is the Truth, the eternal authority of God, (and we are of the body of Truth); what we seek are the fruits of the Spirit to act through us. This is doing the Father’s will; which is to believe in His Son.
We do not serve ourselves with prayer. We pray to glorify the Father, by seeking what His Holy Spirit can provide. Prayer is recognized as a confirmation of faith by the Father, as we must choose to pray. And He knows what we need before we ask. Prayer is all about seeking what brings glory to the Father, and prayer is all about having the power of God come through us to show He is what is righteous.

Matthew 6:8
8
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask him.

Seeking healing is good, because healing can be quickened by the Holy Spirit. And to seek healing of the flesh in unseen ways, whether for ourselves, or for others; is an act of faith.
Seeking what is impossible is good, as all things are possible when we seek to do the Father’s will.

Proverbs:16:9
9
A man's heart plans his course, But Yahweh directs his steps.

Although we do not seek selfish things in prayer, as those of faith, it glorifies the Father to seek to have His authority direct our path. And I can say this is truly reliable, as I seek guidance as one of my reliances on Christ. I rely on what my faith provides. And it bears fruit and it honor the Father by His Truth. As part of the body of Christ, we do not pray to the head, which is Christ, we instead pray through the authority of the head of the body. This is called seeking by the kingdom, because the eternal conscience of heaven is the same as that which the head of the body is the authority of.

Colossians 1:18
18
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.
And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy.

When we pray as Christ has directed, we find that we recognize specific things that bring us into a certain humble state that has its confidence in the what can be provided through the kingdom. The kingdom is not only upon us, but all around us. So the eternal authority is upon everything. It precedes all motion, which means, that all that is, I AM (is of God’s Authority)

John 1:3
3
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

So we must unlearn what the flesh and world has given us for knowledge. We should instead seek to have what is holy work through us, as we are parts of the body of truth. We should moment to moment choose to walk in a way that honor the Authority of Truth. Having said that, this is a maturing, and we all learn to let go of ourselves at different rates. But constant prayer, is the exact way to develop. Internal silent prayer, creates a sincerity in us. A resolve.
Learn to pray. Do so in silence, and do so in secret. Pray seeking what honors the Father through His Truth. Pray to have a guidance that is not possible with faith. Pray constantly to find the Way of the body of Christ.
Finally, remember to give thanks for what you recognize as the good works that have come through you, or that you witness come through others. This thankful prayer, is a choice that celebrates the kingdom which is a gift to mankind.
