why do I have so much trouble asking my Heavenly Father for the desires of my heart? Why do I feel I have to justify them first?

I think for me it's more that I don't trust myself to ask for what is truly in my best interests. I've really stopped praying for myself in terms of things I want and more or less focused on adoration, confession, and intercession for others. Maybe I'll get back to asking for me someday.

Sounds like you've been hanging out close to God's heart. Amazing how He inspires worship and a radical change in what we ask for, huh?

Just wanted to let you know that your comment helped nudge me into some much needed adoration,confession and worship time.
It's weird how I can get so busy thinking and talking about my relationship with God that I forget to actually engage Him.
