All I said was that “I would think that a good rule of thumb is that selfishness probably doesn’t go over very well.” That's not arrogant or definitive. It's a statement of opinion. And yes, I clearly don't know what God wants to hear in a prayer. My relationship to God is mine, yours is yours, and I wouldn't presume to tell you how that should be approached or the nature of it. I'm sorry you were offended by an early morning post made without malice.
Prayer, thinking to ones self, expected to be heard, amongst millions doing the same thing at the same time, hoping there will be an answer in their favor. I think lottery players have a better chance.
What is selfish about praying for Christ’s love and forgiveness?
